Explicit messages

[grimen]

Currently disabled, but :message-option on ActiveRecord validations should be respected. Tricky, because they need to be defined on the field instead on the validator - an important design goal (for me).

Is this why the :message => "Boo!" option has no effect on the text validatious puts up? Any sense of when/if this may get done?

Is there any reason we can't use the DSL extension to do custom messages as described here? http://validatious.org/learn/features/dsl/error_messages

Heh, dirty hack: change the title tag for your inputs to your custom message. This is probably why the feature is marked as 'tricky', I don't know how the DSL extension manages to do this.

Last word: using 'title' overrides all error messages, so it can't be used when you want very different messages for different validation failures.
