I'm not quite ready for that yet ... how about in contrib first?

If the new versions of the tags are exactly identical except for the name,
it might be feasible to tweak the XSLT stylesheet that creates TLDs and
make them both at once. At a minimum, you might be able to use the same
input file with a different stylesheet.

Remember that all the struts-*.tld files are *generated* -- they are not
maintained in source separately. The same XML file that is the source of
these is also used to produce the reference docco about the libraries.
