Nice - like this lots - but I think there's already a browser bean available - anyone
know where?

Quick thought:
Perhaps this logic could be integrated with with JSPTL's currently planned
mechanisms for conditional logic? In other words, instead of introducing
a tag that supports syntax like
<useragent:if browser="netscape" version="5">
a tag could expose a data structure that describes the browser. Then,
later in the page, JSPTL's <if> and <choose>/<when>/<otherwise> tags could
traverse this data structure. E.g.,
<useragent var="browser"/>
...
<jx:choose>
<jx:when test='$browser.type="netscape"'> ... </jx:when>
</jx:choose>
