I totally agree with you. The only issue/desire that I have is that because scriplets can get easily out of hand by developers with little patience or time to learn tags, I would love it if we could enforce the JSP compiler to only compile XML compliant JSP's thereby forcing the developer to not code with scriplets. Of-course the downside is that if we do this we will have to use tags for everything including simple "if's" on the other hand though, we will guarantee that the JSP's will not have 100's of lines of un-readable scriplets which outweighs the negatives by an exponential factor. Therefore if my dream should ever come true we will need the "if" tag.

It's just different, but not better, and scriptlets are evil when they go mad and get out of hand, they are not evil of themselves.

Well, if that's true, forget it. I'll just use scriptlets, although I feel like we're mixing too much java that way.

Scriptlets are far cleaner than inventing a tag which exactly mimics java.
