It's not simply because they are Struts specific. It's because they
relate to operations associated with HTML pages.
For example, I can create a redirect with a HTML page by doing this:
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=./Welcome.do">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Our redirect tag is the functional equivalent. There's not an equivalent
for the forward tag, but the forward tag should be kept with the
redirect tag.
Coincidentally, this also puts all the Struts specific tags in one
library, but that's just icing.

Don't they work in WML pages (or any other XML-based document format) too?
They are HTTP specific (or, more properly, redirect is HTTP specific and
forward is servlet-api-specific), not HTML specific.
As a thought experiment, where would you put a new tag to add an HTTP
header? Or set a cookie?
