At our company we have been using struts 1.0 since the release and very 
glad for it... Until recently, where we have shocked by the discovery 
that structs 1.0 breaks all out attempts at produce well-formed HTML!

Our situation is that we now need to output well-formed HTML (we will 
probably use XHTML), in order to do easy post processing in XSL/Java for 
various nice things like automated GUI testing (all extremely important 
and requires well-formed HTML / XHTML).

At first we have tried to close all our struts tags (ex. <html:base /> - 
note the space needed for some old browsers) but to no avail. Struts 
just ignores our attempts at closing the tags.

What can we do now? I would not like to either drop struts or drop our 
automated tests as well as other critial things that depends on 
well-formed HTML. I would therefore request that the struts developers 
find some way of at least minimal support for generating well formed 
HTML (and please do not suggest simply using TIDY or something like that 
- it does not work ; at least for us it does not).

BTW: From searching the web I saw another posting about this from a 
"Matt Raible" (?), mentioning briefly some uncommitted code that could 
solve this (where, how ?). Would that be possible to just include that 
in 1.0.1 (it would need to be official so that we can count on it for 
the future).

Sincerely,
Morten Christensen,
