If the 1.0.2 tlds are missing attributes that the tags support, you should submit a bug report in bugzilla. Also, if you want to refactor the various struts tags dealing with input types into one tag I'd be very interested in seeing it.
Yes, browsers have to handle one html input tag for the various kinds of inputs but they don't have to deal with java as well. Struts tags must accept valid html attributes AND attributes dealing with sources of data and other java stuff.
