Grab a recent nightly build of Struts and check out the "struts-el"
package in the "contrib" directory.  It includes a recasting of all the
useful Struts tags with EL handling that is compatible with JSTL.

You can get the code for JSTL itself from the Jakarta Taglibs Project at
<http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs>.

It would certainly be possible, but my recommendation is that people
switch to using JSTL tags instead.  The expression syntax supported by
JSTL (now) and JSP 2.0 (when it's done) is much more powerful and concise
than what it takes to accomplish the same thing with the existing Struts
logic tags, or with the proposed ones you show.

eh?
that'll teach me to stop reading the mailing list. Where can I find out more 
about Struts integration with JSTL?

The direction for struts seems to be conformance/reliance on the JSTL as
much as possible, therefore, you'd use the JSTL tags with matching
functionality.
