Whether to retain the tags is your decision, but moving them to the jsp
namespace is questionable. Unless you have advance knowledge these tags
will appear in a future version of JSP, you should put them in your own
namespace and allow developers to include a taglib directive specifying
your namespace. This way, your tags will work in 1.1 and developers won't
have to rewrite the pages that use your tags.

Orion does just that in it's 1.0 implementation. We have not removed the
0.92 tags, but rather moved them to jsp: as you suggested,
we use jsp:includeIf/jsp:excludeIf though (note the casing, tags are case
sensitive in the 1.0 spec).
