I think it that ${ ... }s are good because you can immediately tell where
the expressions are, and they are syntax-highlightable.
Editors like VIM could easily support highlighting function names inside
expressions or even intellisense ;-)
I actually think that
<if test="..." />
should always be written as
<if test="${...}" />
just for the consistency.
