I think TagUtils is fine. As you pointed out, David, it emphasizes that these utilities are meant to be called from taglibs, rather than the JavaServer Page itself.

As for other view technologies, I'd say that the utilities are provided to help view technologies create dynamic * HTML * tags by whatever means desired. In JSP, the technology used is "taglibs". In Velocity, the technology used is "tools", but in the end we are all writing HTML tags.

Yesterday I committed a new TagUtils class for all tag related methods
from RequestUtils to be moved into.  Rob has helped out with the movement
and wrote this in one message:

"Overall we may need a glue class, instead of calling this a tagutil since
other display technologies other than JSP might be able to make use of
this library."

I considered naming the class JspUtils or ViewUtils but chose TagUtils
because I didn't think it would be called from a JSP and other view
technologies wouldn't necessarily need these methods.  What does everyone
think about this?  Now is the time to change the name before 1.2 comes
out.

Thanks,
David
