Another tag works well for me :-) - we have our own customised versions of
struts tags to do this.
I submitted a Bugzilla to make tags more "granular" so that individual bits
of behaviour (like generating the name )could be overriden. Unfortunately
:-( it didn't make it into Struts 1.0 and I think quite a few of the
classes have been changed since, so it may have been wasted effort.
