Can a validation function alter the new document?
Just thought I would ask. If not, is there any way to apply javascript to
the document before it is saved (from inside couchDB).

No, you can't edit docs from validation functions.
You can use _update handlers to do some stuff, but you have to use
them as the endpoint, there's nothing that hooks into the normal PUT
document code paths.
