[VOTE] Version Numbers in TLD URIs

Currently Struts defines the TLD URIs containing version numbers like this
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html-1.1

This means that you must change the uri in every jsp when upgrading.  I 
propose we define the uris like:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html

making it easier for people to upgrade to newer versions.

There's a bug report with more info here:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13574

My main goal is to get this minor issue solved and move on :-).

Dave

Is this a 2.3 thing?

It used to be that you would make the hard reference in the 
web.xml (the location), and then use a soft URI in the pages. 

People often use the location for the URI, but I've always thought 
that was sloppy.

Does the "simplified" configuration mean that deveopers lose 
control over versioning? (a la Microsoft and Explorer)

I've been dithering on this one ... and, even when consulting folks who
have set up DTD URIs for other things, practice is not conclusive either
way.

I'm game for removing the version number, but primarily because I suspect
we will obsolete the libraries before we run into potential version
incompatibility issues.  So you have my +1 to go ahead and change these
URIs.
