Basically, it's the same reason that Struts 1.2.x accepts and processes 1.0 and 1.1 versions of struts-config.xml files ... so that older apps can run with minimal changes when you upgrade Struts. It turns out that this doesn't matter for the particular commit message I replied on (which only changed the URI for the struts-faces TLD), but it's an important backwards compatibility principle in general.
