Comment:
I think it would be better if required attribute wasnt boolean type. This
attribute should set text, which is showed when textfield is required.

    <thetext>I disagree.
The required attribute should state if the tag is required or not to be filled.
What could be done is to add another attribute to the tag that allows that to be fulfilled</thetext>
