Same for FrenchZipcodeMixDirectAnnotationAndListContainer.

Because

that CV type does not override #init() this presumably works in the RI, and
the spec is a bit vague on this point, but the interface definition
describes type parameter A as "the annotation type handled by an
implementation." The spec section ConstraintValidator resolution algorithm
also correlates constraint A to the type parameters of the
ConstraintValidators described in the resolution rules. Finally, I don't
see anything under "What's new in 2.0" to indicate that this should be a
legal constraint definition.

Can I get a ruling? :)
