The way things are now, if you're not using the built in tag libs you still have to build ognl.jar and freemarker.jar into your application or you'll get errors at startup. By being able to leave out the tags, you also leave out the tld, which means the container doesn't try to pre-load the tags, which means the additional dependencies aren't required. (*Chris*)
