I've had a most enlightening conversation on irc recently. A friend of mine
pointed out that property tag and iterator tag can be merged:
<ww:property value="foo">
do something
</ww:property>
can iterate through the values if foo is a collection. Furthermore, we can
merge the property tag and the if tag:
<ww:property value="foo">
do something
</ww:property>
will "do something" if foo evaluates to not null (and if it's a boolean type
to true). But wait! There's more! We can also merge it with the include tag:
<ww:property value="'foo.jsp'"/>
can do an include if "foo.jsp" exists. We can also make it handle actions:
<ww:property value="'foo.action'"/>
can do just what <ww:action value="'foo.action'"/> does today if the string
evaluates to an action!
You wanted a flexible property tag mike ("The property tag is flexible - not
confusing!" as you so nicely put it). Time you show that you mean it.

PS. Yes it's sarcasm, but note that the first two examples are real world
example from my friends version of the property tag for his framework DS.
