I think, that name() should be used all the time, because of section 1.18.2 of 
the 2.1 JSP-EL spec.

My real usage scenario is, that I'm using Spring's message tag to output a 
message from a ResourceBundle.

<spring:message code="enums.${myEnumValue}"/>

But Tomcat calls the setCode() method with 
"enums.myEnumToStringRepresentation" instead of 
"enums.myEnumNameRepresentation". Because the toString() representation 
includes whitespaces and other special characters that doesn't work well. Of 
course I can find workarounds, but I wanted to discuss if this is a bug or 
not.
