Technically ${blah} is part of JSP 2.0, right, not JSTL proper, right?
(it's not part of the "Tag Library").
As a side comment I much prefer the auto-escaping. Makes life much
simpler for 99% of the web pages I do.
With Velocity you have to write a ReferenceInsertionEventHandler, and
it's tricky to say "escape these references but not those". In
Velocity 1.5, we'll have a ReferenceInsertionEventHandler built in for
which you can specify which references to escape by pattern matching.
By the way, I think it'd be nice if the nascent VSTL language mirrored
JSTL as much as possible. (e.g. same attributes, just different
expression language) Make it easy for those of us who go back and
forth between the two worlds.

This was a typo... the xml is not malformed. In JSTL you do:
<c:out value="${blah}"/>
This xml-escapes the output. You can also do ${blah} inline, but it
doesn't xml-escape the output (which is really irritating, imnsho).
