We are actively fixing the TLDs for 1.1 -- please report specific ones
that you find missing in 1.1b2 as bug reports.

I'm not at all interested in combining all the various kinds of HTML
<input> tags into a single Struts tag (even if we were willing to break
backwards compatibility in this way). The W3C spec for <input> is the
about the worst example of a spec definition that I've never seen, because
many of the specified elements are relevant for only some of the input
subtypes, and the relationships are not always clearly defined. We'd just
end up with a single tag that had 100 or so optional attirbutes, with no
clue to the poor user about which ones are relevant for which uses.
