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.
