The thought underlying the sequence is:
You type a value into a field --
first you need to check if that is valid.
Once you've checked it is valid, you run the recalculate to
update fields that may depend on the one you filled in.
That in turn may change fields --hence the revalidate after
calculate.
Thus, depending on how the constraints are authored, it
might be possible to type in a value that is "locally valid"
but turns out to be invalid with respect to the form.
