The download that people probably depend on was a nightly build that

JSTL 1.1.

Few = 30 resolved items. 12 or so patches applied.

Robert Goff just offered up JSTL 1.2 as a patch, and once he's able to
send in a software grant then we can be looking at releasing both the
JSTL 1.1.3 release and a JSTL 1.2.0 release.

taglib, but wasn't sure if there was enough user interest in taglibs
nowadays.

Yep.

If there are 404s, point them out and we'll fix them.

+1 to both ideas.
