Paul, I understand your concern, but mapping flash scope into one of
the standard scopes provides automatic discovery of flash beans by JSP
tags. Both Struts and JSTL tags follow a standard discovery procedure
so nothing has to be changed in this regard. I think this is a big
plus.

Also, I think that having beans with the same name in different scopes
can lead to confusion. I would like to see a use case for such bean
usage.

Yes, I am going to update URLs. Though I personally prefer my URLs to
be clean of unneeded parameters, updating URLs with a parameter is a
simple approach and is applicable for many use cases. I think that in
most cases a real item ID can be used to identify a particular
instance of flash scope.
