Hmm, what _is_ up with this?  AFAICT the ASF doesn't
have a great track record of getting access to TCKs,
no?  Where does that leave us?

Judging from JSP spec 2.0, and keeping in mind that
IANAL, it didn't look too worrisome to me, actually...

Not true. The ASF has a great record of geting access to TCKs until Sun 
went and blew everything out of the water by voilating their prior legal 
agreements re the Java SE 5 TCK.

is innapropriate to be in commons.
