Oh, if the taglibs are not from you then I believe the best you can do is to
write a tagExpose tag that will do like this:
<x:tagExpose id="myBean">
<my:foo a='bar' />
</x:tagExpose>
Which will be a BodyTag that will expose the BodyContent content to the bean.
And then let the bean for the rest of the page.

Ah, ok, this way. The problem is that the taglibs are 3rd party and
therefore should/could not be modified... isn't there a way where I
don't have to modify the taglib sources?
I guess something like this could be an option, but besides having
these ugly scriptlets in my JSP's, I see no way to store the tag
expansion in a variable within a scriptlet...
...
<%
{
String tmpStr;
tmpStr = %><my:foo a='bar' /><% // this obviously will not work...
%>
<my:bla b='<%= tmpStr %>' />
<%
}
%>
