Hey,
It is entirely to do with your originl e-mail, as it is a valid reason why your original request (inclusion of Validator in core) should not be carried out at this time, and discussion of it is important (at least if you intend to improve the extension to overcome this issue).
This is just one single issue, and stands rather loose from the question if the extension should be included or not. You will always be able to find issues of some sort, so with this kind of focus on superficial bugs (this really is, it can be fixed in under a minute), and avoiding the real question of inclusion, nothing will ever happen.
First reach an agreement on if it's a good idea or not; only then take care of the small changes that might needed to be taken before including.
Cheers
