Craig is right. List isn't mentioned. I checked it when I made the patch to see if it was meant to. But it certainly makes sense.
I've been asked a couple of times why the nesting extension didn't allow Lists when logic:iterate tag (strtus) did. There's a very real use for it. I won't get back onto my "being defined by specs" rant. Not enough energy today. Just truly happy that I finally have some code input to a jakarta project (what's that... two months now) :) Be cool peoples. Arron. Scott Sanders wrote: >>From: Craig R.
