This information is shown in the ToolTip. You get this when waiting a short time over the error message. > The validator would in the event of catching such a case, add a > validation violation of severity "info" with the text "Highway without > a reference" instead of "Illegal tag/value combinations" > > What do you think?

Actually this is already implemented. It's only moved to the ToolTip for two reasons: a) There is so little space there in the Validator window b) When I change the generic error message, the valdition dialog will be filled with lots of different message types. This makes finding certain types more difficult.
