Hmm, I was not aiming for a Servlet 2.2 solution, but it's possible that could
happen.  As you suggested, I'm only implementing the Struts tags which provide
functionality not in the JSTL.  I'm implementing them by using the internal EL
engine from the JSTL.  If we were to try to get it work with Servlet 2.2, you
would essentially have to use both sets of Struts tag libraries (and not use
the JSTL tags at all).  You would use this library to get the JSTL
functionality, and the regular library to get the functionality I'm not
porting.  I believe that can work, although I'm not directly testing for that.
