Given that the messages CAN be overridden, I'd like to register a vote for keeping very simple messages as the default (since I tend to use them as is) and letting individual users override them as necessary. Also, keeping the messages unchanged would aid those of us who will have to port applications to 4.1 at some point. It seems like a change which isn't _necessary_ and since I use the default message in many cases, I'd actually have to go and override the default message throughout my app when I port it (either that, or get PM to buy into the new text, which would take about 10 times as long). Given that 4.1 isn't _supposed_ to have major upgrade incompatibilities (at least, I'd assume so given the similarity in version number), it'd be nice to keep the messages the same unless absolutely necessary.

*meekly raises hand.. I think my original intention was to change some of the default error messages to give more specific information about the format that we want the input to be in. Rather than just saying "your input sucks, try again" and having them randomly type stuff in until they get it right. Perhaps the messages need to be looked at a little more closely on an individual basis, or ideally find some way to translate "#" type number format patterns into a more human friendly message ?
