Malcom,

I actually can't tell you, since Mike N. was the main author of the 
Expresso integration.  (I seem to be saying this a lot today :) )

Tell me, (since I haven't stopped to look at the Struts DTD)  does having 
those items included in the action element mess up the current 
compatability implementation? ex: are any of them required attributes and 
thus would force all Expresso writers to rewrite their app xml files?

If not, I can certainly include it for your use in the final release of 4.1

HTH!
