Jean-Noel, I've finally had a chance to take a look at this (back from two
weeks on the road), and it looks very interesting to me.  I could forsee a
new tag library called "struts-layout.html" (or something like that) that
contains tags like this, so that all Struts users could take advantage of
the work you've started on, in conjunction with or instead of the lower
level "struts-html" tags as appropriate.

If you would be interested, I'd like to add a TODO list item for Struts
1.1 for a layout library, and put your name down as a volunteer to work on
it.  If you'd like to become actively involved, we can talk about
proposing you as a committer on the project (according to the guidelines
on the Jakarta web site at <http://jakarta.apache.org>).  Otherwise, I can
commit the code to the CVS repository for you.

As soon as we create a beta 2 of Struts 1.0, I'm going to branch the CVS
repository so that we can start checking in changes for 1.1.  Therefore,
your timing is quite appropriate.
