The real question is the various dependencies that go along with each taglib.
If you bundle: xml taglib, to use it you need xalan 2.3.1. ant taglib, to use it you need ant, ant-launcher and ant-junit 1.6.2 etc... And I believe there are taglibs whose dependencies we can't distribute, e.g. the mail taglib. So....we have no taglibs on one extreme and 'all we are allowed' on the other. What's a valuable compromise?
