Allan Schweitz commented on TILES-336:
--------------------------------------

You're right insertAttribute is the more obvious one. However I would like this 
feature even for putAttribute. The reason being the in my particular case the 
jsp's are generated by a cms and the content or value of a put attribute maybe 
sometimes empty and it that cause I would like the putAttribute tag to fall 
back on a default value. I guess this could also be managed by the 
insertAttribute which should check not only whether there is an attribute or 
not, but also whether the attribute is empty or not.
