This would be the way Craig was seeking for an included page to tell its
own Struts tags whether to render XHTML or plain HTML. It would set a
*page* context attribute, which the subsequent tags on that page would
check.

As a corollary, the <html:html xhtml="true"> tag should set the key in
*page* scope rather than request scope, so that each page has to make its
own decision.

Do you mean a separate tag from the <html:html> tag, instead of using
<html:html xhtml="true">, or are you referring to another tag for the
XHTML-ness ;-) of the content? If the former, I'm not sure why we would
want that. If the latter, I disagree that it should be a body tag, since
it needs to be an all-or-nothing tag, not one that applies only to its
body.

I think we should probably log a warning. In many cases, the resulting
output will work, but we need to flag that there's a potential problem.
