[jsr-314-open] DRY and form with JSF 2

[Dan Allen]

I've run into the same problem every time I get to polishing a JSF
application. My thought is that there should be a new positional replacement
value in message templates that allows you to plug in the value of the
correlated output label. (If there are multiple, the first would be
selected).

In general, the position replacements are:

0 = invalid value
1 = example value (sometimes this applicable, in which case the positional
parameters shift)
2 = client id

We could add

3 = label value

It's debatable whether the HTML should be stripped from the value.

javax.faces.converter.DateTimeConverter.DATE={3}: ''{0}'' could not be
understood as a date. Example: {1}
