[development] converting a module from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6

[Chris Johnson]

I think 'op' is simply the arbitrary identifier of the element being
validated.  form_set_error() marks the element on the form with
styling (typically appears in red, or with a red asterisk or a red
background) when in error, e.g. a required element was left blank.
