Whew!
Pier's text below, or something like it, would be good to have in the
(Tomcat-4.0?) user's guide.
[I know the distinctions made below were made in emails (and docs I
didn't read :-)) by Craig, but being vastly ignorant of servlets and
JSPs, it all ran together in my mind over time.]
Those who want to capitalize on OSS as users, might find paragraph 3
especially important, since it indicates the significance of the names
for use as well as for development activity.
