Here's the "old and tired" scope:

The Unstandard Tag Library is a collection of tags and features which
users have requested of the Jakarta Standard Tag Library. It is not
really tied to the Standard Taglib or JSTL but is instead just
somewhere to speed the availability of ideas before JSTL responds to
user demand.

I'm of the opinion that's just fine for the "new hotness" scope. I'm
just not sure how to quantify the "users have requested" part. I can
certainly recall people wanting field (constant) and method access,
but other than that...

<snap/>

Yup, that, and logging -- it will be in the archives from roughly
three years ago where I asked about a JCL based log taglib IIRC :-)

Anyway, I can't interpret the old scope in much of a meaningful way,
let alone use it to decide whether the iterator datetime tags actually
belong.
