Yes, it would. However, my understanding (Pierre et al, please correct me
if I'm wrong) is that, since JSTL is a Sun trademark, we can't use it in
the name of the taglib. We can, however, refer to the Standard taglib as
the Reference Implementation of JSTL.

Actually, JSTL is an acronym, and it is not trademarked by Sun.
I can't remember exactly why we did not name the library 'jstl'. Maybe
we thought at the time that it could become a trademark and wanted to
avoid the issue. Not sure...
At any rate, the taglibs home page clearly shows that 'standard'
is JSTL (see the left column). I don't think we'd want to go through
a name change at this point, but any suggestion to make it more obvious
that 'standard' is an implementation of JSTL is more than welcome.
