My vote would be to use "tiles" - it makes the most sense, even if in the
short term it creates confusion. I would suggest renaming the existing tiles
sub-project to something like "struts-tiles". The advantage of svn is that
its easy to re-arrange in the future. You could stick all your stuff in the
sandbox intially so that people can have a look at it. Once its ready for
"prime time", we could then re-organise the sub-project names.

I would also vote for "org.apache.tiles" - my guess it would be more
platable to other frameworks if there isn't a "struts" in the name. It might
make people think there was a struts dependency with "struts" in the package
name. Also, if the consensus is to move out as a TLP in the future, then
there wouldn't be a need to change package names at that point.
