Problem:

The 'session' and the 'request' are "global" pools. There is a need to 
manage the namespace of the attributes stored in these pools. In 
particular, when the developers use more of Tiles to componentize the 
software, there is a need to avoid name clash between the including and 
included pages.

Proposal:

Introduce a <bean:prefix prefix="myPrefix"> tag.

Usage:

   <bean:prefix prefix="myPrefix">
     <bean:write name="person" property="name"/>
     <bean:write name="account" property="balance"/>
   </bean:prefix>

is equivalent to

   <bean:write name="myPrefix.person" property="name"/>
   <bean:write name="myPrefix.account" property="balance"/>

If people think it's useful, I'll do the code and submit the patch.

p.s. Open question: The same mechanism can apply to <html:*> taglibs as 
well. If so, where should this <?:prefix> live?
