The question really applies to an *implementation* of JSTL, not to the
standard itself.
Either way, it's a great question. The Standard Taglib, which is Apache's
implementation and the basis for Sun's, should be "context-safe" as you
describe it; at least, I know of nothing in the implementation that would
break when used in multiple contexts. However, since it has never been
formally tested in this regard, I can't guarantee it'll work that way.
Feel free to file bug reports if you notice any anomalies under such a
configuration; we'll take them under advisement.
I think it's also, or even more so, a question about what the container
supports. I'm pretty sure Tomcat 4 doesn't scan JAR files in the common
directories for TLDs, for instance. If I'm right, you must have the TLDs
under WEB-INF in all apps anyway.
