re: XML/JSP/XSL (/DOM-based transformations)
Yes. We definetively want to be able to do these things very naturally
in the next version of the JSP spec. Some can already be done now but
we want a very natural fit. And we will build on/synergize with
existing appropriate standards rather than inventing a "parallel
universe".
The challenge is finding the right combination of all these things.
re: Better I18N/L10N
There is already some but yes we want to do better. We had an internal
design for Servlet 2.2 but it was not cooked enough and we decided to
postpone it for the next release.
Please send us feedback at [EMAIL PROTECTED]; we read it all
and manage to respond to most. I am personally interested in sketches
of specific examples to ground the design efforts.
