I have to say I think moduleRelative is much clearer to me.  I'm VERY happy to see 
that contextRelative is going away -- I always found it very ambiguous as to what it 
meant.  "modular" is unlike any other attribute that's present in Struts that I can 
think of, and for that reason also "moduleRelative" gets my +1.

Either moduleRelative or modular would be fine with me. 

I've done the initial work on this, but need to do some testing before I check it in. 
Probably tomorrow.
