Just so it's clear, I assume you're referring to a taglib in the Jakarta
taglibs project, and NOT the JSTL.
I'm a little hesitant to force some people using Struts-EL to include still
another taglib in their set of taglibs. Not to mention one that is a little
(just a little) further away from the mainstream than Struts and the JSTL.
There will be a set of people upgrading from 1.0.2 to 1.1 who won't miss it,
but beta versions of 1.1 have been stable for such a long time, I think the
number of 1.1 users is larger than might be expected for a beta release.
My only argument against creating "logic-el:present" is "cleanliness", as all
but one of the features of "logic:present" are available in the JSTL (not to
mention that attaching "role-checking" features to "logic:present" just seems
odd). However, when I look at it from a pragmatic viewpoint, I realize that's
less important than simple convenience.
