This has nothing to do with the size of letters. requiredMsg does not seem to recognize raw strings:
jr:requiredMsg="abc"
it needs to be referenced using itext:
r:requiredMsg="jr:itext('/data/group/text2:jr:requiredMsg')"

I would say that there is no need to add support for raw string because both pyxform and ODK Build use itext but constraintMsg does support raw strings so there is inconsistency between those two types of errors.

@lognaturel should we:

1. Support raw strings in requiredMsg
2. Remove support for raw strings in constraintMsg
3. Leave it as-is

Forms I've used for testing:
forms.zip

That's a weird one!

The spec does say raw strings should be supported so it feels like ideally they would be. Do you have a sense of how big of a list it would be?

Oh if it's in the spec it should be fixed so #731
