agreed, there are cases like this, but what happens when you have a platform 
independent tagged value that is not supported for a specific platform ?

anyway, if you have some concrete examples I can take a closer look

reuse of views only exists within the scope of a single use-case, IMHO this is a good 
practice, Struts Tiles is a better way to encourage reuse of views and this is 
directly supported by bpm4struts

bpm4struts supports decision points, take a look at the animal quiz; or do you mean 
something else ?

actually we do not call 'diagrams', but use-cases, bpm4struts is mostly use-case 
oriented

AFAIK UML 1.4 does not support a nice way to model the flow between use-cases, in 
bpm4struts I tackled this issue by using the name of a final state to target the 
use-case (the name must match, and since you should not have different use-cases with 
the same name this should not be a problem)

so in order to navigate through use-cases you use the final states, jumping from an 
action state directly to another use-case is like using 'goto' in Java: perhaps 
sometimes tempting, but not recommended
