Go back and read what I wrote again. I'm not saying that
TagLibraryValidators aren't part of the specification.

Correct. And Scriptlets are also part of the specification.
See: JSP Specificaton: 2.11.2
So, making scriptlets disappear is invalidating the specification. No where
does it say in 2.11.2 that it is legal to remove those entities. In fact,
the document specifically states:
"All JSP containers must support scripting elements based on the Java
programming language."
I don't see how you can disagree with me on the point of removing scriptlets
from an application will invalidate the specification.
So, in effect, you are talking about modifications of the specification. If
you are going to go to that length (which is removing something that has
been in the specification since day one and is documented all over the place
in examples), you might as well dump the entire JSP technology and start
over.
I also find humor how you simply ignore my other points. Maybe if you shove
enough stuff under the rug, no one will figure it out.
