Hi Marc!

We try to support at least one version back for a while.  So it will be a 
while before we start using JSP 2.0.  [It was only a year ago that we 
started requiring taglibs for most of Expresso's JSP functionality, for 
example]

So we tend to try to be on the cautious side so that we can maintain 
compatibility with as many app servers as possible.

Hope this clarifies!
