Hey Fabrizio,

We're getting out-of-topic - Stef, I have another message coming up for you if 
you're still looking into using @include_page :)

I don't think that is the case at all - but I'll listen to your concerns if you 
have any there.

Also - let me try to make one thing clear. The debate is not "freemarker OR 
jsp", but "which templating language do you want to use?" - others can be 
supported, it's been made simpler over the last few years, and 4.5 and its 
simpler rewritten "page components" should make that even easier.

That on the other hand is something we have to admit - there have been a few 
glitches and some tags were gone or not working anymore, or perhaps the docs 
were unclear ? As you mention below, your contribution will be welcome, and any 
constructive criticism or comments will also be helpful !

They say to not feed the trolls, but I can't help and be curious: what's an 
example where a JSP would be a better choice ? (and I'm not saying there isn't 
such example - and I'm not saying there IS one better choice, other than a 
subjective, matter-of-taste one. You seem to think otherwise ;)

Awesome, looking forward to that !
