Okay. One of many reasons I ask is that I still have it on my to-do to make some improvements on the JSP compiler to support things like 1) precompiling all JSPs on deploy and 2) a better Ant task. I don't know how much the EL changes might affect this JSP compilation (hopefully it's fairly decoupled), and I'd like that to not seriously hinder any effort to back-port my improvements to Tomcat 7. I'm wondering if this needs to move higher on my list and get in before the EL changes. Any insight? > > The basic implementations are done.
