IMHO the problem with JSP is that its trying to do too much with version
1.0. All it really had to accomplish for version 1.0 was to let you mix
java and html on the same page the same way ASP lets you mix javascript or
vbscript with html. The brilliance of the initial JSP sepc was that Sun had
the guts to simply match the ASP spec, knowing that if you then add Java's
superior performance and cross-platform nature that JSP would be a better
choice than ASP by default. The .91 spec was good enough for this as was
.92. Pretty much everything else that people on this list seem to want out
of the spec should have been pushed to 1.1.
