I guess we have a difference of opinion. I care about the tld's because they take time getting them correct and I have an explosion of entries in my projects. Also, the struts tld's (at least in 1.0.2) are missing attributes. HTML and all the other languages we use are hard enough to learn and get effective with, using consistent syntax much less inconsistent syntax. Yes there are differences and the class would be slightly larger than normal but it wouldn't be unmanageable and with clever syntactic analysis would not be much larger. After all the browser has to be built to handle the input html object.
Thanks for your commentary.

Consider how huge that one tag would be if it knew how to output text, textarea, radio, checkbox, submit, and password fields. Each of the struts input tags have features unique to them and deserve to be separate. Also, the struts tags need attributes for html AND beans, properties, etc. That's why you see attributes like styleClass instead of class. Who cares how many tld entries there are? This is a non-issue, especially in servlet 2.3 where you don't ever have to see the tlds. Even without 2.3, it's trivial to put struts-*.tld files in your /WEB-INF directory.
