The code I currently have checked in does use the iterate structure. I started to try and make things backward compatible, but gave up after realizing that most of the additional features in the existing tag you don't really need anymore. I've made further updates in my own project that are a more watered down version, but I think that this might be the way to go for this project. The displaytag should only do exactly what it needs to do and nothing more. I've even added the ability to have multiple tables per browser page and to page through them independantly of each other. I'll try to update my code in the sourceforge repository and put up a simple example app.
