You are completely correct Matt. In our situation, there were other
reasons that led us to create our own versions of the struts validations -
I won't bore anyone with those details. The point I was really getting at,
is that specialized applications of the struts validations can be easily
accomplished. The need to "extend" a struts validation has to be there.
In our app, we use a combination of the canned struts validations and some
of our own validations that apply logic that is specialized for our
specific needs.
I probably read too much into the question... :-)

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why can't you just setup the
validation to do the integer validation without the required validation?
Integer does not depend on the required validation, so it should be fine -
if there is nothing in the field the validation will just return true.
Sample code in validation.xml would be:
<field property="test" depends="integer">
<arg0 key="label.test" />
</field>
