LOL! Nasty words indeed, Martin... ones that will draw the ire of JSPI's
entire community, except for those of us who've read the spec (or are

Anyway, tagdependent means what it says: the tag decides what to do with the
body. There's certainly no requirement that the tag body is sent to the
JspWriter - a tag can consume its content very easily.
