Indeed. Two years, solutione exists, works, but is not accepted by the Party.

  "It does have to do with the HTML 4.01 spec. With such a change,
  we allow the Struts tags to generate HTML that is not compliant
  with that spec. For *years* we have said that the Struts tags
  will generate valid HTML 4.01 code, and I, for one, am not willing
  to see us go back on that decision now."

Whoa! Being a bit stalinistic, are we? What happened to freedom of
choice? So un-American ;-)

  "As for adding something like <html:attribute>, I think it is
  definitely bad policy to hand developers a loaded gun aimed
  at their feet."

They already have boxes full of TNT on their desks. Letting them have
a gun as well does not change a lot.

Really, imagine a battle tank with a gun which cannot be rotated
backwards: "We do not want them to fire at our own troops".

Tank commanders are not idiots (en masse), so are programmers. I never
took "the best thing since sliced bread" seriously, but seems that
there are quite a few of Darwin Law victims, who can cut themselves
with a kitchen knife and then bleed to death.

Anyway, Struts task is not childproofing the house, but is to provide
aid in web development, is not it?
