extend <field> tag with "forward" attribute for error page

Just wanted to get some feedback before I work on a patch for this.
Basically I was thinking of adding a page tag to validation.xml, for example

<form name="personForm">
    <page number="1" errorForward="page1">
        <field property="name" depends="required"/>
        <field property="address" depends="required"/>
    </page>
    <page number="2" errorForward="page2">
        <field property="plan" depends="required"/>
        <field property="groupNumber" depends="required"/>
    </page>
</form>

In this way the control flow for validation failure is specified
in validation.xml. This would preclude having to specify an action
mapping for each page in order to specify a different value
for the action's input attribute.  

Implementing this would require changes in the commons-validator, plus
also enhancing ActionError to encapsulate the error forward so that
the ActionServlet can use the errorForward.  Does this sound worthwhile ?
