You are totally right, I just took a quick look and it seems to be a bug 
in the current implementation. You basically have no chance to use it 
like that. You could extend the EletronicAddress and then implement your 
own validator for that, but as it is currently we should ship validators 
for all the types.

Yes indeed, looking at the ElectronicAddress validator it tries to find 
a validator with the same name as the type + 'Address', which results in 
EmailAddress or SkypeAddress, but without a namespace it will look for 
it in TYPO3\FLOW3\ so your *could* for now put a SkypeAddress validator 
in \TYPO3\FLOW3\Validation\Validators (where EmailAddressValidator is 
too), but of course that is not really desireable. I am also not aware 
of a way to override the default EletronicAddress Validator or define 
another place for the SkypeAddress Validator. There could be a way to 
use a custom type with a namespace, but I would need to lookup the 
correct syntax for that, should be something in the way of 
'Vendor:Package:Skype'.

It would be awesome if you could open a ticket for the missing 
validators / problem on forge.typo3.org in FLOW3 Base Distribution. 
Thanks in advance!
