Description

It seems that some validation concerns (such as validations that relate two fields) can't be expressed in the @Validate annotation; at the same time, we don't want to have needless duplication.

I propose the special name "default" as a validator name that means the default validators derived from the @Validate annotation (or other rules).

Thus:

<t:textfield t:id="backOrderCount" validate="default,lteq=orderCount"/>
