When the validation's error message is null, exceptions are thrown during instantiation of RuleViolation, since validation.ErrorMessage is used as the formatter of String.Format.
When adding validators to the content type, 'error message' should probably be marked as required.
Secondly, ColumnValidation should have an overloaded GetErrorMessageFormat which handles null values (default to localized text?), which should replace the use of ErrorMessage when used by TextContentBinder.ValidateColumn... this will address content upgrades, since historical CMS_Data won't necessarily have "good" data.
