Better?
Most of thr above is a matter of opinion, in this case yours. However, the main problem is that if we have two radically different ways to do the same thing, it WILL be confusing. This has nothing to do with the specifics of these tags, really.>2) Adding addional tags makes the PropertyTag (and the taglibs as a >whole) more confusing, not less. Adding tags that are simple and straight forwards makes PropertyTag more confusing. You are totally correct on this. But why? Because it makes it abundantly clear how extremely confusing, complicated and bloated property tag is. Of course it looks confusing when it stands next to simple tags!
>If you wantThat is a little twisted logic, since the INTENT of the ADDITION is to eventually CHANGE WebWork. The important issue is whether this change is better or not than the current way. I can kind of see the point of some of the proposed tags, but definitely not all of them. Less is more, even though having only PropertyTag may be a little too extreme.

Yet "the community" is what wants this ADDITION, not change (see pats
tally). That it's an addition and not a change is very relevant and you keep
using "change" in what looks like a demonization-attempt.
