Yeah, I had mentioned a while back (on another thread) that the new plugin will not make an attempt to be a catchall solution the way the first set of AJAX tags were. Right now, the plugin has form tags so that you can use Struts' validation through AJAX. It's not complex and can be done by hand, but the new plugin will be useful for those mundane things, while leaving JQuery exposed to do the stuff it's good for.
