<para>One major difference of the regular expression validator compared
to other built-in validator types is that you need to set a required
<literal>Expression</literal> property to a regular expression to match
against.</para>
<note>
<para>
Note that current behavior limits the Regular Expression Validator to expressions
to being full matches, i.e., ^(expression)$, thus limiting functionality.
To not change this behavior in a point release, a property <literal>AllowPartialMatching</literal>
has been added in 1.3.1 to support the correct behavior.
</para>
<para>
This property will be removed for next major/minor version 2.0 and implementation
will be fixed to get the intented behavior.
