I hear ya! I got excited thinking of the possibilities. I sent an email 
to one of our clients (a struts user) and our product group about this 
potentially being a part of a future struts package. With our current 
plugins for Struts (we have a model framework called eQ!), it really 
expands our possibilities as well, and the sales/marketing guy will love

that :-)
