I am not sure I understand this proposal. As far as I know this is

If Struts 1 decided to go with Cintoo, I think it would be good for Struts 2 to
adopt it as well, as it would make migration easier, and reduce the number of
differences between the two versions.  I'd like to take that approach with other
areas like validation and annotations in the future.
