 Looks good.

 Just two things:
  1. the validator only returns Invalid or Acceptable, while the child
 validators might als return Intermediate.
  2. There doesn't seem to be support for (the configurable string
 representation of) NULL.  If the value is some not yet complete part of
 NULL the validator should also return Intermediate and ignore the size
 limitations in that case.
