Some guidance here would be helpful.  I'm also unsure how this is
supposed to work.  I agree with Darren that if the user needs
something unconventional, it should be easy to generate their own
tags.  These convenience tags are so simple and so straight forward
that they should work for most people (especially if they allow XHTML
or HTML rendering).

Now that the nestedPath tag exists, I can submit our JSP 2.0 tagfiles
for the form elements.  I will also try to submit tag classes, for
those not using JSP 2.0.  Again, since the BindTag still exists, we're
not forcing people to use these tags just to get at variables.
