Access the requested validation mode(s).

IMPL NOTE : the legacy code allowed multiple mode values to be specified, so that is why it is multi-valued here.
However, I cannot find any good reasoning why it was defined that way and even JPA states it should be a single
value.  For 4.1 (in maintenance) I think it makes the most sense to not mess with it.  Discuss for
4.2 and beyond.
