I have finally managed to hook Jesse's previous hacks for LenientFeature 
so they are called from a LenientFeatureFactory. I could not manage to 
use LenientFeatureFactory with SimpleFeatureBuilder as the builder is 
providing its own validation.

The remaining problem comes down to a "assumeCorrectOrder" method that 
is supposed to return null when the values cannot be used in the order 
provided. This is not happening right now since the functionality 
depends on Types.parse method shown below:
>     public static Object parse(AttributeDescriptor descriptor, Object 
> value) throws IllegalArgumentException {
>         if (value == null){
>             if( descriptor.isNillable()){
>                 return descriptor.getDefaultValue();
>             }
>         }
>         else {
>             Class target = descriptor.getType().getBinding();
>             if ( !target.isAssignableFrom( value.getClass() ) ) {
>                 // attempt to convert
>                 Object converted = Converters.convert(value,target);
>                 if ( converted != null ) {
>                     return converted;
>                 }
>             }
>         }        
>         return value;
>     }
It is a little startling that you can parse null into a default value - 
but this is not what is tripping me up here. Instead the 
Converters.convert( "name2", Double.class ) is managing to return "name2"...

If we cannot convert I have the following guides:
- Old code seems to assume the value returned from parse will be null
- The javadocs say an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown
- The code as written just returns the original value

I am going to patch locally to throw an IllegalArgumentException since I 
tend to believe the javadocs.
