I would also like a similar change but would prefer it if the 'argX'
variables also worked with the defined bean.
For example it would be nice if I could replace something like this:
<bean:message key="foo.bar" arg0="<%= aBean.getArg0()%>"/>
with this:
<bean:message key="foo.bar" name="aBean" arg0="arg0"/>
If the name attribute is not present the tag would still work as it
currently does.
