I would expect the same way an Action determines that it needs to call saveErrors(), if there are errors in the collection. The Action makes the determination on whether errors exist and need to be passed to a JSP or another action. The next action that is invoked may or may not care about these errors, and calls removeXXX(). That is a bit of a pain I would agree to have to explicitly make a call to removeErrors() you don't care about. But how does the tag know whether it should clear them out after one use? At least with the action the user then has more precise control over "when" the messages are cleared. That said, there may not be many, if any, cases of having to carry messages past one use. But for example in an application where you have recorded some errors/messages, but allow the user to continue on. And the messages are shown persistently at the top of a page or in some other frame, Once the user decides to "clear" the errors/messages, an Action would then call the removeXXX() method.
