To be able to use autoloading it HAS to be named:

'FILE:EXT:Foo/Classes/Validation/Validator/DateValidator.php'

class Tx_Foo_Validation_Validator_DateValidator extends 
Tx_Extbase_Validation_Validator_AbstractValidator {}

That's the beauty of "convention over configuration", just the classname 
will tell you the name and path of the file. :->

It is working on extbase 1.2, don't have an example with recent extbase 
yet, so it could be a bug sneaked in.

Greets and hth,
Peter

P.S.: for testing, just add a die('include me'); somewhere in the first 
lines of file to see wether it is included at all....
P.S.II: Validators are only triggered by MVC properyt mapping (not when 
using the plain objects, for example within a task)
