yeah, i saw these in the nag when it first started.  i don't know what to do
about it, except try and get our 1.1 out and remove the deprecated stuff as
planned.

hmm. i didn't notice that.  i just saw that the others were from deprecated
things and assumed all the errors were.

i'd say go ahead and give them a heads up on the dev list first.  if we don't
get much action/response, then we can put it in bugzilla so they don't lose
track of it.  are subscribed to struts-dev?  if not, let me know and i'll send
them a message.

yup.  oh, and on a side note, there's been some dev activity on the javascript
validator tag.  i don't know if these bugs affect us and we certainly don't
want to apply the first yet (requires nightly validator build), but i just
wanted to make sure you knew.
