So we're in violent agreement, which means I'm not communicating something very
well.
If releasePageContext() is called against the factory, that means that the
writer of the JSP page can't write their own cleanup routines. From a server
provider perspective, clearly, we can. But that makes extended tags which
export info that have their own cleanup requirements kind of difficult to
create, yes?
Or do users get to specify the JspFactory?
