I guess I just don't see how this is a serious change and how existing apps behavior would change. In my experience, over 95% of clients use Netscape 4.x+ or IE which both support this grammar. Many other people use Opera which also supports this.

I'd rather *not* make this kind of a potentially backwards incompatible
change immediately before a release (unless you make it conditional on the
"xhtml" attribute of the <html:html> tag being true). The problem is that
we have no way to know how many existing Struts apps depend on the current
behavior, and this is a pretty serious change.
I'm all for doing it post-1.1 though.
