I would definitely agree with your argument in theory - any page that
triggers it could be done a different way...

In practice though, I don't see anything in the JSP spec that says "Oh, 30
tags or so is too much, behavior in that case is undefined" :-)

Either way, I can't change that guy's coding style, and the patch works
for me. If you end up using it, please let me know if you encounter any
problems!
