Best if it's possible to upgrade to the Rails 2.3.5 or edge (2.3.8 is a little broken with nested attributes). If this project have a good test coverage, then why not?

Else just move that logic into the controller and sleep well, because it will "just work".

Main concept of a "complex forms" you can find here:
