The "HTML" tag's strange attribute: "locale"

, , , ...

The other day I installed the free BEA Workshop JSP Editor 3.0 on my system and right away I created a JSP/JSTL project to get a taste of it. So far so good. A simple and handy Eclipse extenstion for Web app development.

Now the problem: The default JSTL project automatically produces an index.jsp file which includes a code snippet like this:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<html locale="true">
   ...
</html>


This is very strange. The "HTML" tag does not have an attribute named "locale". And this is not Struts' <html:html> tag.

I am still confused bigeyes. Does anybody know what's the rationale behind this strange attribute?
