I looked at the JSP 1.1 spec and taglibs. That could be an option in the future,
but how long will it take for publishing tools to support import and use of a
taglib? We have only found a few publishing tools that support JSP 1.0 and I don't
know if our customers will be patient enough to wait for tools to support JSP 1.1.
