I disagree but understand and respect your point of view.

Wasn't asking you to do it, this was more of a floater as to whether it was 
worth me investigating coding it up and submitting it as a patch.

And that's exactly what I'll do.  The reason I asked the question in the 
first place is to find out what the consensus was as to the best way to 
incorporate validation configuration into struts-config.xml.  If Validator 
is really the Way To Go on this, then that's the way I'll go.
