=46reeMarker has a default value of false for the 2nd param so you only nee=

supply it to override it.  Velocity can't do that.

The other options for Velocity are:

 * always supply the second parameter in every call to springBind

 * use a globally scoped, well-known variable defined in user templates.


I prefer personally to always require the additional parameter.  It's more=

consistent with FM and won't cause user templates to break if they migrate=

them to FM using the automatic conversion tool they have available.

What do you think?
