If I understood correctly, you want to have a confirmation message before the user submits ? If this is it, you can create your own javascript in a confirm() function and call it using the onclick event of a button. If you don't want javascript, you can use the controller and tweak the 'next' action to have it display a confirmation form: Page1 -- submit --> Page1 (frozen + notice message) --> confirm or back Rules won't help you here as they are meant to validate user data by returning 'true' or 'false', not 'perhaps'.
