It seems like there ought to be separation between "These are regular user/admin-facing forms that could have validators assigned to them" vs. "This is validation API module's interface, which should NOT have validators assigned to it, since it's the UI with which you create validators."

It might be that this was a specific design decision in order to allow maximum flexibility, but as a user of this module, I found it confusing for those links to appear within validation API itself.

My thoughts were to allow maximum flexibility. So, people can add validators to any field on the entire site. If it is felt that many admin users would just get confused with these links in the Validation API section, then I will set up an exception for the link to show up.

I think it's valid to have validation api links in the validation_api interface. What if you wanted to create a rule so that validator names could only start with "validator_"? Then you'd apply a validation_api validator!
