which one to use XML syntax v/s JSP syntax?

[Sanjay Gulabani]

I have been playing around with JSP 1.0 reference implementation and
JSP specification provides alternate XML syntax to JSP syntax for
writing Java Server Pages,

eg.  XML syntax
<jsp: scriptlet>
        register.processRequest(request);
</jsp:scriplet>

vs JSP syntax:
<%>
        register.processRequest(request);
<%>


also <%=> in JSP versus in XML  <jsp:expr> </jsp:expr>

My question is which is meant to more preferable way? Are JSP engines
going to support both (is it mandatory).
What are the trade-offs, if any?? I prefer XML than the JSP syntax (for
simple reason that jsp syntax is less readable to me)  What are leading
JSP-compliant webserver vendors going to support?


Thanks,
Sanjay
