What would be realy nice is if the JSTL's EL had ben written with extensibility in mind to begin with, a lot like what Joe Walnes ended up putting into the FormTags project. What worked there is that you had a "ww:" prefix to specify that the formtags were to use the expression language for webwork, and other prefixes could have been supported as well. I tried to get the JSTL to work this way, but it didn't quite work out the way I wanted (i.e., they decided that nobody needed such a feature, and handed it off to you guys.)
It still might be workable from webwork's perspective to use that kind of prefix idea.
