Standard messages for LengthValidator are confusing

[eclipse-faces-bot]

Section 2.5.2.4 of the JSF spec lists the standard error messages for the length
validator as

javax.faces.validator.LengthValidator.MAXIMUM –

{1}: Validation Error: Value is
greater than allowable maximum
of ‘’{0}’’
javax.faces.validator.LengthValidator.MINIMUM – {1}

: Validation Error: Value is
less than allowable minimum of
‘’

{0}

’’

Suppose I set a minimum length of 5 for a zip code, and the user enters 9410.
The message

Validation Error: Value is less than allowable minimum of ‘5’

is not likely to be comprehensible to the average user--after all, 9410 is
larger than 5.

Suggestion: Change to

Validation Error: Length is less than allowable minimum of 5.

I used http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt and
http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/ to get the unicode characters for
the non-latin character sets. Thanks to ianp on #xjava on irc.freenode.net.
