I would suggest that perhaps the biggest thing slowing down the current jsp
process is that Sun never defines a spec and publishes it by itself... there
is always a spec and implementation published together. This is guaranteed
to be slower than just defining a spec.
Of course, it could easily be argued that Sun wouldn't get decent feedback
from developers unless they include an implementation of the spec...
