Great idea - its such a pain checking for nulls all over the place. How
about something like
<i18n:formatString value="<%= something %>" defaultValue="N / A"/>
where the defaultValue is optional and defaults to "".
Though strictly speaking its not using any localisation - but it would make
sense to keep it with the other formatXXX tags.
