Google and other search engines are also new to JSTL. :-) I suspect
it'll be easier to find things in a few months. But this list is still a
great place to get support.

Right - requestScope refers specifically to request-scoped attributes.
To get request.getRemoteUser(), you need first to get the currently
ServletRequest object and then retrieve the 'remoteUser' property. To do
this in the JSTL expression language, you can write
${pageContext.request.remoteUser}
"JSTL in Action" describes this and other potential applications of the
EL. Hope that helps!
