However, I never considered putting a function in "Rule" to do more than validate the value, and create a psudeo-field-level trigger, right? Anyways, thats what I've done for the time being.

Not su re exactly what you are trying to accomplish- but a reason to put code in the validation rule:

Validation rule is the only way to get a timestamp function built in to your table. By calling the correct stored procedure from the validation rule, you can have the dbc automatically populate a timestamp field with DATETIME() and a username field with the current user's login name.
