I was asking more if there could be a preForEach and postForEach internal
tags. It's not something I've seen in custom JSPs much yet, special
concents which do different things. So:
<c:preForEach varStatus="s">.....</c:preForEach>
etc. Take away the iffing and elsing for what is a very standard thing to
do.
