--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Having searched the JSP 2.3[1] specification for "template" and reviewed all
the occurrences this isn't as clear cut as I would like.

There are quite a few references to EL being "in" template text which suggests
that the EL is part of the template text.

There are also several places that are explicit that EL is not template text as
well as several places that are explicit that template text is passed straight
through to the output without any processing - clerarly not the case for EL.

On balance, while the number of references to EL being "in" template text
out-number the number of references that state EL is not part of template text,
my assessment of the intention of the JSP EG is that EL is not part of template
text as all the explicit statements are that EL is not part of template text.

I am therefore resolving this bug as INVALID. The simplest workaround is
probably to use ${' '}.

This is a matter of judgement and it is posisble that the JSP EG had the
opposite intention. You may wish to raise an issue with the the JSP EG to seek
clarification. If such clarification is forthcoming and it supports the
validity of this bug then please feel free to re-open this bug (referencing the
clarification) and we'll take another look.

[1] The 2.3 specification is very, very similar to 2.2.
