While I haven't used this module so far, this looks similar to health checks, where the result [1] uses a log-like stream of messages. Being able to include DEBUG and INFO messages helps understand the validation, and with a log you can easily aggregate the results of multiple validators, while keeping the details about each of them. It might make sense to use the same or a similar mechanism for validation. -Bertrand [1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/bundles/extensions/healthcheck/core/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/hc/api/Result.java
