would it make sense to pass the value of the name attribute via the
attributes container (to the validator)?
I know, the attributes parameter is thought for the validator to return
validation relevant attributes to the form helper but it could be "mis-used"
for this purpose since changing the IBrowserValidationGenerator would break
backward compatibility (especially important when people have custom
validators!!!)
What do you think?
