What's the rush? Why does Struts 1.x need to require JSTL? They are independent technologies that can be used together if the developer chooses. The Struts tags work in their current form and I agree that enhancing them is time better spent elsewhere. But fixing bugs is still necessary so that the tags are as stable as possible for the people still stuck on Servlet 2.2 containers. IMO, Struts 2.x should attempt to get out of the taglib business altogether. Until then, we should just let the tags be and maintain Struts 1.x as Servlet 2.2 minimum requirement.
