> Currently the Validator may only return a boolean value or an exception in case the validator was called with invalid parametrization (https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/contrib/validation/api/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/validation/api/Validator.java).
> In some cases the validator could give some important information about why the validation failed. This is e.g. the cause for a reference validator where the cause for a failed validation could be:
> # referenced resource is not existent
> # referenced resource is not having the right resource type
> # referenced resource is not activated
> So instead of only returning a boolean value, it should also be possible to return a failure message.
