This reminds me, I've never liked this new syntax for the DISPLAY tag

<DISPLAY PROPERTY="[beanname:+]property"   PLACEHOLDER="substitutevalue">

What I don't like is the use of colons (:) rather than periods (.).  The
spec says it "helps distinguish this naming convention from Java syntax."  I
don't see why that is necessary.  For consistency sake using periods would
be more intuitive to a Java developer and make no difference to an HTML
developer.  These are "Java" Server Pages after all.  This looks more like
C++ Server Pages.
