My beef is mostly with JSP and custom tags.

I'm finding that they are hard to maintain.  You cannot just hand a JSP
either with scriptlet code or custom tags and expect a web monkey that
only knows HTML and flash to figure out how it works.

Also, we are delivering cobranded sites, and do not want to write our
engine code more than once for the same thing.

I've heard murmurs of people using Struts and XMLC together but have not
seen anything concrete come from that.  Anyone willing to provide us with
some insight on how that works?  Googling for anything XMLC related turns
up some really old tutorials and postings from the list, but little else.
