The Tag Extension mechanism was only introduced through the taglib directory
in JSP 1.0, to indicate that JSP engine vendors could provide their own
tab library format to extend the set of tags recognized by a JSP implementation.
In JSP 1.1 a portable tag library format is being defined. The first public
draft vesion of the JSP 1.1 spec was released this week and is available at
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/techinfo.html so you can see what's coming and
provide feedback.
