Type conversion isn't tied to OGNL in 2.1. XWork has a new API (copied from OGNL) to abstract type conversion. Of course not all EL's support type conversion in the same way, so there may be issues down the road. i18N isn't tied at all to OGNL, so I agree with Chris here as well. Even if the JUEL plugin works out, we probably won't be shipping it till Struts 2.2 at the earliest. I think it is awesome that Tom is working on it now, though, as I think it has a better future than OGNL, particularly for JSP users. Seam has shown you can build a solid framework on UEL and even extend it to add the new features you need.
