Before I moved to Telerik, I was using another masked text box control. It had a couple of features that I liked, and would like to suggest you add to your masked text box.
I would like to see a MaskedEditValidator control that can validate that the input is there and conforms with the mask. It would take the place of both a RequiredFieldValidator and the RegularExpressionValidator, and would not require you to come up with a regular expression to match your mask.
In conjunction with that, you would have mask characters that indicate required entries. For example, for a US zip code, which can be either five or nine digits, you would have a mask like: 00000 #####
This means that the first five digits are required to have a valid entry, but the second four are not. That may not be the perfect example, but you get the idea.

Hello Ed,
Thank you for your suggestions.
Currently we do not plan to develop input validator controls however I will forward your requirements to our dev team so they could discuss their possible implementation in some of the future releases of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax.
For now as you mentioned you could use the asp Validator controls in collaboration with RadInput to achieve the required functionality.
