Why does ModelValidator use SEVERITY_WARN

In almost all UIComponents I've seen, validation errors create SEVERITY_ERROR FacesMessages. However, the ModelValidator creates SEVERITY_WARN FacesMessages.

1. Why does it use SEVERITY_WARN instead of SEVERITY_ERROR?
2. Other than writing my own ModelValidator, how can I change this behavior?

Unfortunately the JSF spec provides zero guidance about the semantics of JSf message severities. They are therefore essentially arbitrary.
