What do you suggest then, Pete?
The idea of merging the two came from

The Struts Digester is a pretty cool tool on its own,

and would take very little to have it running as a utility. (Some people
all already using it in their own non-Struts projects.) But, it is
important that we start with something that two or more products can use
right away.
