No.

I wonder why it's happening? That message gets logged if the step 
handler throws OperationFailedException, and this handler doesn't.

The intent is a handler throws an OFE if there is an error in the user 
request, and we WARN log it instead of ERROR because it's not an error 
condition on the server. This handler shouldn't throw an OFE though 
because it's not an error condition. But it doesn't!

Oh, I bet I know why; the theory of the handler is somewhat off. If you 
invoke /interface=bogusname:validate-address, it will work, because the 
handler is (indirectly) registered under /interface=*. But if you do 
/bogustype=public:validate-address, it doesn't work as expected as 
nothing is registered under /bogustype=*. So you are seeing the standard 
"unknown address" handling.

Probably the right way to implement this is to have validate-address 
only on the root resource and then pass the address as a param.
