I felt bad about the jsp f-job that your tags went through and have some dim hope that maybe Howard will use it in T5 since he seems to be leaning more towards jsf friendly spec -like things. Haven't posted anything about this anywhere else except in a private email to Drew/Patrick though.
Anyone is more than welcome to help contribute towards whatever effort is involved. The actual el -compatible language part should be easy as it'll just require copying / editing a new grammar file for javacc (ognl already supports all the language features and then some of course..), but I expect all the API refactoring / whatever hell the u-el API has in store to not be as easy.
