I agree, and I think that it should be the ${} syntax. The reason I like the
optional syntax is solely for backwards compatibility.

Definitely agree.

Think about the case where many components/projects using WebWork needs to
be merged into one big app. "Oh that won't work because we used optional
method Foo, whereas you used Bar" is NOT a good situation.

Said it before, and will say it again:
What makes a framework powerful is not what it allows, but what it does not
allow.

This is one of those cases where this is really important to remember.
