Which ways? (Remember, we are trying to integrate Velocity and Struts)

That's not correct. The tag options are basically the same options that are
available in HTML (Yes, HTML offers 27 different options for a simple text
input tag.). Someone familiar with HTML will have no problem with the tag
options. Have a look at the tag lib doc at 
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/struts-html.html#text

The purpose of these custom tags is not to reinvent HTML but to support the
HTML designers with form validation logic, form (re-)population, etc.
