I read somewhere that you should use http://java.sun.com/jstl/core for the taglib uri in your web.xml file for the JSTL libraries (as opposed to something you make up like jstl-core). The author stated that using that full uri would allow a container to optimize those tags like you mentioned.
First, is that true? Second, it would be neat if containers optimized Struts tags in a similar manner. Maybe the Tomcat team would be willing to do this since they're both on jakarta.
