expression type validator and getText()

[stanlick]

I need to fetch a locale specific string for an evaluation and cannot get
the syntax worked out:

    <field name="title">
        <field-validator type="expression">
            <param name="expression">
                !title.toUpperCase().equals(   getText("titleMatch")  )
            </param>
            <message key="selectTitle"/>
        </field-validator>
    </field>

Should this work?  I also tried:

    !title.toUpperCase().equals(${getText("titleMatch")})

with no success.

Peace,
Scott
