Niall,
I code to the 1.4 API but deploy on 1.5 when possible.

Moving off 1.3 is safe because:
1.  1.3 is not supported by Sun anymore.

2.  Struts requires 1.4 and Validator is primarily used by Struts folks. 
Sure there are some that use it standalone but the percentage of total
users is miniscule.

3.  1.3 users will always have the older releases of Validator to use. 
They won't get the new features but they should be used to that since
they're using Java 1.3.

David
