Sigh.
Happily, for most mmbase cases, it will also work withouth the {}. So
perhaps it would be worth it to change as many as pages from the distro for
that (because my guess is that isELIgnored on the page itself will cause
terrible errors if not JSP2 is supported).
And perhaps we should provide an alternative for {} then. perhaps (), [] or
|| or so.
It would have seemed useful if EL evaluation could be switch off per taglib
of per tag, e.g. in the TLD, but that seems impossible. Probably its a
kind of preprocessing which must be applied to a complete page, or not at
all.
