It's not clear for Struts beginners.
I think Struts should not press user to select JSP.
Do you plan to divide Struts to Action part and JSP support?

Have had X2 the release or alpha? Have you contact to the developers?
I want to help them.

Good idea.

JSTL? It's about tiles? Can I find the API in nightly build?

Hm. Why not [controller] <-> [model] and
[view] <-> [model]?
At present in the Struts I should write Action for any View that
requires to load data from the Model.
I think the View from pull-MVC has two main responsibilities:
1. Load data from the Model and prepare for render(java task)
2. Render loaded data with JSP or XSL or..
Am I wrong?
