The Validator package actually includes a general messages tag, which
isn't much different from its errors tag.
So maybe we should just add that one, and have it start by using the
default ERRORS key. I believe people could then also use it for other
messages just by specifying a different id property, and a different
header or footer, if desired. I think all we would have to do is add an
optional "property" property to messages and messagesExist.
