Validation is only about reading, so there is no problem if the 
ModifiableValueMap doesn't support relative paths, it would never be used by 
validation code.

IMO the relative paths in the JcrPropertyMap are a great feature (at least for 
reading). Relative paths are a good invention and shorten the code a lot.
