It can be discussed informally here. More formally, the subject has now
been taken up by the JSR-152 group, so I should defer to Eduardo
Pelegri-Llopart and Mark Roth (the spec leads) in describing how they're
prefer community feedback on the EL. My guess is that the

feedback alias would work.

No, I think the current ECMAScript implementatino supports only scoped
attributes (page, request, session, and app). The final EL will most
likely support more than this, though.

Excellent point; I agree with this too. My sense is that there's
consensus on this issue from others debating the topic, too.

It works for me:
<crt:if test="<%= 1==1 %>">
1 does indeed equal 1, interestingly enough
</crt:if>
If you're still having trouble with it, let us know; please show the
entire JSP page and include info about what container you're using.
