The title feature is interesting, and we'll probably add it - and the simple
reason that it hasn't been added is probably one of the following:

1.  You haven't submitted a patch
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=73068&atid=536615)

2.  The developers on this project are too busy to add it.

As for the rest, while they are interesting features, I don't believe they
belong in this library.  IMO, the display tag library is designed for
displaying, sorting and paging lists of data.  That's it.  You might check out
struts-menu (http://sf.net/projects/struts-menu) for your menu-ing components
or the DynAPI (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dynapi) project for DHTML
widgets.
