Hold....

This.

I believe the validation comment is passed back to the end-user when
validation fails:

"Custom Field State must match State Abbreviation." or something on that order.

for (?#State Abbreviation)^[A-Z][A-Z]$

FWIW, I am not sure if I've ever used the validation field of a CF. I
did have  a conversation with Best Practical about it once, though.
