This is not true. In 1.8 the following works:
<mm:node id="mynode" >
${mynode.title}
</mm:node>
and even anonymously:
<mm:node>
${_node.title}
</mm:node>
This works by using org.mmbase.bridge.util.NodeMap (a map which still is
a node), and can work because EL also supports maps. So, if your MVC
fills the request-attributes with node objects it can do the same and
wrap them in such a NodeMap, and they can perfectly naturally be used in
the view.
