Uh, that's what servlet containers do -- they compile a JSP into
a servlet *once* (unless it's changed, and the Context is marked
as reloadable="true") and save it. It's not dynamically generated
for each request. So for static pages this is kind of a non-issue.

It can be very easily handled with servlets/JSP, as well, assuming
the developers 1) know what they're doing, and 2) care. :-)

Honestly, if the whole issue is SE-friendly URLs -- it sounds like
what's required is *putting SE-friendly URLs into the spec* for the
developers, and leaving them to figure it out. Eh?

FWIW!
