Some taglibs are missing a few common attributes.
We allow titleKey for the html:frame, altKey and titleKey for
html:button, and a few others, but do not allow a way to specify the
bundle or args.
Besides the obvious...
<bean:define id="myMessage">
<bean:message key="my.title"/>
<bean:define>
<html:sometag title="<%=myMessage%>"/>
...work-around, I'm wondering if we should add this.
I think we shouldn't. I think the work-around is a much more flexible
and generally better solution given the options available with
bean:message.
Your thoughts?

If I understand this correctly, it's certainly possible to do it with
bean:message, but it would make the resulting JSP code less maintainable (many
more lines of code). It might be worthwhile examining exactly which tags and
attributes we're looking at changing if we added this.

I believe we should add support for specifying a bundle, but I don't think
support for arguments is necessary, given the nature of these attributes. I
agree with David K that the alternatives, such as the one you presented
above, reduce the maintainability of the JSP pages.
