I agree that examples, examples, examples, is what we need most at this
point.
We have been busy and have also had to find a simple and easy mechanism
for the distribution of even simple examples. We have found one in a
project within Jakarta and we expect to start placing very simple
examples there. This will not be "the standard library", the focus is
mostly on showing how to get started but I expect that some simple
useful tags will show up there too.
We will announce when the examples start being available.
I do not think that the standard tag library is particularly technically
difficult. What I think *may* (or not) be difficult is to agree on what
is "in" and what is "out" of it. We are still in the comments for the
JSR stage, we won't know until when the expert group gets going. If
there is general agreement, this may not take that long. But, to avoid
adding unneeded constraints, we have decoupled the JSR for the
containers from the JSR for the standard tag library.

Right-to. At least the way we understand the world right now :-)
Hope this helps,
