    <big><b>JSP(tm) Standard Tag Library 1.1 implementation</b></big>

    <p>Jakarta Taglibs hosts the Standard Taglib 1.1, an implementation of
      the <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl">JSP Standard Tag
      Library (JSTL)</a>, version 1.1, which was developed under the
      <a href="http://jcp.org/">Java Community Process</a>.
    </p>

    <p><b>NOTE:</b> Standard-1.1 (JSTL 1.1) requires a JSP container that supports
      the Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages 2.0 specifications.
      Jakarta <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/">
      Tomcat 5</a> supports the new specifications. The Standard-1.1 taglib
      has been tested with Tomcat 5.0.3.</p>
    <p><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-1.0-doc/intro.html">Standard-1.0</a>
    (implementation of the JSTL 1.0 specification) requires a JSP container that supports
      the Java Servlet 2.3 and JavaServer Pages 1.2 specifications.
      Jakarta <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/">
      Tomcat 4</a> supports these specifications. The Standard 1.0 taglib
      has been tested with Tomcat 4.1.24.
