Could stxx's XML processing features be put into Struts 1.x? Yes, but before that happens, I think some sort of url feature for forwarded paths should be put in first. This would allow a request to easily be forwarded to a different presentation system without modifying or overriding the request processor. For example, a forward to a jsp page could look like: "jsp://Foo.jsp", for tiles: "tiles://Foo.jsp", and for stxx: "stxx://Foo.xsl". This feature would make it easy to have multiple presentation engines, a feature we say Struts supports, but it doesn't really.
I'm still uncomfortable with minting new URL schemes. Couldn't this be solved by deploying an additional servlet mapped to handle other extensions? This is how JSPs work as it is; if your deployment descriptor gave *.xsl to the STXX servlet, then requestDispatcher.forward() would give control to STXX just to do the view rendering.
I thought this was how the Velocity/Struts integration stuff worked already.
