Actually, JSTL was introduced into our company for exactly that purpose. Now, I'm not the one saying that every web designer will understand it, BUT from my point of view a web designer must know JavaScript. Now, if he understands JavaScript, how far is he from understanding JSTL? It's just a new syntax, but an "if" is an "if" is an "if" :-) If "WYSIWYG designers" means people who create web sites with Frontpage (or even Word!), then presumably they won't have a clue. But a good web designer for me is someone who knows and understands HTML, JavaScript and perhaps even a bit of XML - and such a person shouldn't have a problem.
