As a member of the JSR-127 expert group, I can assure you that the EG
considers validation for user input (typically from an HTML form) is
definitely within the scope of JavaServer Faces. That being said, this
does not reduce the usefulness of a general purpose Validation framework
that can be used across different UI frameworks.
