And vice versa.

Due to the surrounding infrastructure, the log taglib can reside
in jakarta-taglibs.  But there is no reason joint releases can't be
done.  log4j could include the latest release of the log taglib,
the log taglib could contain the latest release of log4j.

This way both projects are doing the marketing. :-)
