The form itself becomes ValidationErrorAware? I searched for it when 
thinking about a solution, but unfortunately the form is not 
implementing the interface.

So +1.

Hmm, I guess it is also possible to add a fi:validation-message to the 
form widget as it is done for all other widgets. It must be possible to 
differ between form widget (= global) validation errors, collected 
"somewhere" and widget specific errors. In other words I do not want to 
be forced to collect all errors at one place just because of using 
ft:validation-errors for the global errors.

But +1 for the idea in general.
