You could set a string variable this way:
<c:set var="myStringVariable"><c:out value="${category.id}"/></c:set>

To keep the JSP short and clear. Instead of these tags:
<c:url value="edit.html" var="url1">
<c:param name="category.id">${category.id}</c:param>
</c:url>
<a href="${url1}">xxxxx......</a>
do it with JSTL-EL:
<a href="${pc:url(pc:concat('edit.html?category.id=', category.id))}">

Anyway I wonder what does it prevent you from using <c:url> and <c:param>...

That's not quite the minimalist approach I was thinking of, but it is one approach.
Another approach which saves that whole line is to write another taglib function
and use it like this:
<a href="${pc:url(pc:concat('/category/edit.html?id=', category.id))}">
where pc: is my taglibrary, but I'd like to avoid a proliferation of these
taglib functions in my app.
