I believe there was a bit of a miscommunication here. The reason Erik said that the property tags needs to be broken up before 1.3 (a opinion I do not share) is because the current property tag behavior does pretty much everything it can to confuse new users. If we want to attract new users with 1.3 it would be a good idea to simplify the taglib (but keeping property tag as a deprecated tag of course) so that we can attract new users by saying "see how stable, easy and logical it is" and not just "it's stable". Easy to learn is a BIG argument, especially for those who want their web designers to edit the JSP code. A full page of complicated documentation for the property tag is not very polite to the non-coders that need to use webwork imho. // Anders Hovmöller PS. I hope I didn't put words in your mouth Erik.
