/**
 * A validation message from either TagLibraryValidator or TagExtraInfo.
 * <p>
 * As of JSP 2.0, a JSP container must support a jsp:id attribute to provide higher quality validation errors. The
 * container will track the JSP pages as passed to the container, and will assign to each element a unique "id", which
 * is passed as the value of the jsp:id attribute. Each XML element in the XML view available will be extended with this
 * attribute. The TagLibraryValidator can then use the attribute in one or more ValidationMessage objects. The container
 * then, in turn, can use these values to provide more precise information on the location of an error.
 * <p>
 * The actual prefix of the <code>id</code> attribute may or may not be <code>jsp</code> but it will always map to the
 * namespace <code>http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page</code>. A TagLibraryValidator implementation must rely on the uri, not
 * the prefix, of the <code>id</code> attribute.
