What the text is trying to explain is that the TagExtraInfo class (provided by the
custom tag implementation) is used during translation-time (when the JSP page is
converted into a servlet) to generate the code that's needed to update scripting
variables the tag (optionally) creates. The actual value of the variable is set
during request-time (i.e. when the servlet created from the JSP page is executed).
