I may be late to the conversation, but I just wanted to mention the obvious.
Having .action extensions does not expose the fact that a person is using
WebWork (or XWork).  You can even change the extension to whatever you want
(try .dll, hehe).

But I didn't suggest that you'd use <action> tags... that was the WW
way, and it worked, but with the filter it's much more transparent and
the security problem with .action's is gone.

I guess it would be possible to add .action support as well, but if it's
possible to avoid I think we should, for reasons mentioned (hiding
implementation, security).
