No, this stuff does actually require a well-defined contract because
Bean is an extension point that is implemented by third-parties.
SPI requirements are substantially different from API requirements.
An SPI is basically a driver, and it's appropriate to make validation
demands a driver provider as part of the spec. Writing a Bean will be
rare.
Cluttering up a spec to force validation from an SPI provider is not a
good idea. In general, validation interfaces don't work, and just
make implementations and the spec more difficult and complex, and
don't really save anyone time or improve any quality. Validation
requirements in the written spec are great, of course.
