Why can't the tag or the tiles controller do something along the lines of instanceof, if the property is a list-type, then process each member of the list to the page? I thought everyone was getting away from scriptlets.... -Jacob

Doing an insert on a attribute of type list doesn't means that you want to insert each element of the list. Maybe you simply want to display the element. Take for example the menu layout. It requires as input a list of "Item". One can customized the "Item": how the insert tag can take into account such customization ? In the current proposal, the insert tag just pass the list as is, and let the programmer play with the list according to what have been pushed in the list.
