Visual question about inline error handling

Hi, I'm currently working on an inline error handling module, with some extra stuff for handling dynamically updated help tooltips, but I'm not sure about something from a sighted perspective.

If you have a form with various fields, and you tab through it, would you expect inline error tooltips to appear next to every field that has invalid input?

Or, would you only expect the error tooltips to appear one at a time so that only one is visible?

Thanks,
Bryan
