The introspector was built to be more lenient than the bean spec, so for
example, Thingy.foo will work with a hashmap by also trying
object.get("foo"). This is extremely useful for passing in disposable
value objects.
My opinion, the Bean Spec is for programmers... the last time I tried to
explain a "bean" to an HTML/Tempalte author, it wasn't pretty. :-)

Interesting... I could go +1 for that.

+1 Even when the template author IS a programmer -- I still want to keep
templates simple. :-)
