Commons Validator really has two distinct components:
1.  A configurable (typically xml) validation engine
2.  Reusable "primitive" validation methods

It provides no pluggable validator actions for feature 1 but feature 2
allows you to more easily build them.  Struts' FieldChecks uses the
methods from 2 to build pluggable validator actions.

I'll add this info to the website.
