EL now supports many functions of OGNL. Would it make sense just to replace OGNL with EL? There doesn't seem to be much of a community around updating OGNL. The newer versions of EL have improved support for usage outside of the JSP environment. Is it possible to use EL in the other templates (Velocity, Freemarker, etc)? It is very confusing to have to work with multiple expression contexts (ValueStack lookups and JSTL) when authoring JSPs.
