One thing I don't understand, after reading the article, is how to keep the state
of the form data displayed on the page.  For instance, if you have a drop down
menu, and you want to preserve the selected state, how do you do that using
Struts/XSLT?  One of the things mentioned in the article is that you can avoid
using the Struts taglib by using XSLT:

"The most common way to generate HTML forms is through the Struts HTML tag library,
which is not XML compliant and therefore unusable in conjunction with XSLT."

I'm fairly new the Struts, but I thought you HAD to use the Struts taglibs to take
advantage of the state held in the ActionForm objects.
