According the documentation of JSTL 1.0
The <fmt:formatDate /> should output a current date and time.

But even in fmt.tld and fmt-rt.tld the value attribute is required.
I downloaded JSTL final release yesterday.

I am preparing a presentation of JSTL for my company
development section, so I  wouldn't like to any scriptlets
as value="<%=new Date()%> " in my demo.

Is it a JSTL bug or I am doing something wrong?

Thank you,
Yuri.
