Before performing validation, implementations must execute BindBeforeValidation for any domain objects requesting it.

BindException - if a validation problem occurs

ValidatorNotFoundException - if no matching Validator could be found (and the implementation wishes to treat this as an exception condition as opposed to logging it and continuing).
