I mostly agree with you, but it shouldn't be too hard to add the most
common iteration options to the tag, including the infamous loop-backwards
example.  That strikes me as a much better solution in general.

And having said that, it doesn't take away from your point that there
will be occasions where the tag doesn't suffice.  Maybe adding logic to
the bean is acceptable, but it should be a rare occurrence.
