I think it makes the most sense if you figure out the validateMenuItem: mechanism, then figure out the validateToolbarItem: mechanism, then see they're closely related (no surprise, since menus and toolbars are supposed to echo each other), then come across validateUserInterfaceItem: as an attempt at a Unifying Theory as well as a fallback.

I remain optimistic that a cleaner, less confusing narrative can be told around validation.

I think menus are validated (assuming autoenablesItems) when they are pulled down.  I forget where I get this from.

Toolbars are trickier, because they're visible all the time.  I think someone else referred to performance issues because this means toolbars have to be checked more often.
