/**
 * A validation message from either TagLibraryValidator or TagExtraInfo.
 * <p>
 * As of JSP 2.0, a JSP container must support a jsp:id attribute
 * to provide higher quality validation errors.
 * The container will track the JSP pages
 * as passed to the container, and will assign to each element
 * a unique "id", which is passed as the value of the jsp:id
 * attribute.  Each XML element in the XML view available will
 * be extended with this attribute.  The TagLibraryValidator
 * can then use the attribute in one or more ValidationMessage
 * objects.  The container then, in turn, can use these
 * values to provide more precise information on the location
 * of an error.
 *  
 * <p>
 * The actual prefix of the <code>id</code> attribute may or may not be 
 * <code>jsp</code> but it will always map to the namespace
 * <code>http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page</code>.  A TagLibraryValidator
 * implementation must rely on the uri, not the prefix, of the <code>id</code>
 * attribute.
