Validator Localization

I'm trying to localize validations where I have some fields that
only appear in certain locales, and therefore only need to be
validated under those locales.

In Struts in Action, Ted talks about adding attributes to the
<form> tag.  But it looks like under the newer Commons Validator,
the localization happens at the <formset> tag.

Given the following validation.xml (abbreviated a bit - it's
actually a lot larger than this):

<form-validation>
   <formset>
     <form name="infoContactForm">
       <field property="contactFName" depends="required">
         <arg0 key="formFieldLabel.contactFName" />
       </field>
     </form>
   </formset>
   <formset language="en" country="UK">
     <form name="infoMailingListForm">
       <field property="mailingListPostcode" depends="required, mask">
         <arg0 key="formFieldLabel.mailingListPostcode"/>
       </field>
     </form>
   </formset>
   <formset language="en" country="US">
     <form name="infoMailingListForm">
       <field property="mailingListZip" depends="required, mask">
         <arg0 key="formFieldLabel.mailingListZip"/>
       </field>
     </form>
   </formset>
</form-validation>

When I set the locale to en_UK or en_US, the Postcode or Zip
fields do not get validated.  The FName field always gets
validated under any locale.  What do I need to do to set up
for and trigger the locale-specific validation to happen?

Thanks much,
Paul

In my original example, the form name should be the same
in all the formsets.  That was just a copy/paste error
in the email, but thanks to the couple of folks that
pointed that out to me by email.

I still can't figure out how to get the validations for
the locales to fire.
