Description

I just tried applying the prototype[1] JavaScript library to my project and
discovered that its mechanism of adding an "extends" function to the base
JavaScript object causes the validation routines in Commons Validator to break
because they don't know what to do with the "extends" member.

Matt Raible reported a similar problem against JSON[2]

I know there have been big potential changes to the validator JS for a while;
maybe this is a further motivator.
