I looked back at the 2.1.4 Woody source code and the validation-errors
styling element was indeed available at that time. Of course, I forgot
that since you're using Woody and not CForms, the namespace is
different, so it would probably be wi:validation-errors rather than
fi:validation-errors.
If that still doesn't work, then you probably don't have the proper
template in your woody-field-styling.xsl. Here's the template that
needs to exist in the stylesheet:
--------------------
<xsl:template match="wi:validation-errors">
<xsl:variable name="header">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="header">
<xsl:copy-of select="header"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<p class="woody-validation-errors">The following errors have
been detected (marked with !):</p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="footer">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="footer">
<xsl:copy-of select="footer"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<p class="woody-validation-errors">Please, correct them and
re-submit the form.</p>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="frm" select="ancestor::wi:form-template"/>
<xsl:if test="$frm and $frm//wi:validation-message">
<xsl:copy-of select="$header"/>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="$frm//wi:validation-message">
<li class="woody-validation-error">
<xsl:if test="../wi:label">
<xsl:value-of select="../wi:label"/><xsl:text>: </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
<xsl:copy-of select="$footer"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
---------------------
You can of course customize it to suit your needs. Then just add the
<wi:validation-errors /> in your display template and it should work.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

I don't know if it was available in the version of woody you're using,
but in current CForms there is the <fi:validation-errors /> element
which aggregates all the validation errors in a single place on the
page. See the bottom of
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/publishing/xslt.html for details.
