It would be nice if this: <aTag anAtribute="aValue" />
Parsed the same as: <aTag> <anAtribute>aValue</anAttribute> </aTag> Failing that it would be nice if any tags with attribute also accepted nested tags with the same name and meaning as an alternative.

Tags cannot be nested. Nesting tags is prohibited. If you nest a tag inside another tag, the page won't compile. Nesting tags ist verbotten. Do not nest tags if you want your page to work. > > The following won't work: > > <html:test property="<bean:write property="something" />" /> It is true that this won't work, but I would caution you that "nesting tags" actually means something different: <html:form ...> <html:text .../> <html:text .../> </html:form> which is perfectly legitimate. A correct sentence describing what you cannot do is "You cannot use one tag to create all or part of the attribute value of another tag."
