There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think this calls for an entire section of the docs. If you wanted to add on to the "If validate is true, all metadata will be validated" sentence in the docs to say what happens when validate is false then that would be acceptable (e.g., "otherwise validation is done per-attribute at access time" or something).
