O.K., I understand now.

Why not:

Hack the parser for taglib-support and include
the HTML-Code in your new tags and maybe put
it in a string or make a function based on it.

The parsing of the tag content can then
be done similiar to current HTML-Comment parsing
(allows for <%= %> constructs.)

This would 
	- solve your problem
	- help the gnujsp community
	- would follow the spec
