Jesse Kuhnert resolved TAPESTRY-1174.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Jesse Kuhnert

Fixed the numeric/number based strings. 

I noticed that dates get this "format is " string but can't remember if that is 
something I added or not. Either way I think it actually does make sense for 
dates so will probably need some stronger convincing if that isn't what others 
think.

>
> The validation error messages have changed between T4.0.x and 4.1.x.  The 
> change was made in an attempt to provide a better hint to the user about what 
> made their input invalid.  There is some dispute on the user list as to 
> whether the changes made overly complicate things or actually make things 
> easier for the user.
> Moreover, there's dispute about whether changing the messages is considered a 
> backwards-incompatible change.  Developers may have come to rely on these 
> messages and not expect the change.  In my own case, it broke integration 
> tests I had that checked for the presence of a particular error message.
> There's also dispute over whether the detailed messages are more appropriate 
> for developers or for end users.  If this is all the issue comes down to, 
> adding a "debug" property might be a nice compromise for switching between 
> the two (although, maintaining two sets of messages may be cumbersome).
> At the very least, the changes should be reviewed and some general consensus 
> reached about how to move forward.
