        We agree hence the tag extension mechanism we will add in JSP 1.1
        will allow users to develop libraries of custom tags that will be
        portable between JSP engines and tools ...

        Unfortunately we are opposed to the concept of embedded properties,
        they don't exist in JavaBeans, and exposing a new syntax seems
        redundant ... tools support can hide the java code ... so it
        does'nt seem necessary ...
