Well, maybe the spec needs to be fixed then. It is also mentioned in the
spec that it is backward compatible with JSP-1.1, and AFAIK the suffix
was not mandatory - even in the spec there is an example without kb at
the end. 

There are plenty of JSP1.1 pages out there, this will require people to
rewrite the pages just to add a 'kb' suffix ( which is pretty weird 
by itself, almost everything else uses k, and is redundant - if 
the size can only be specified in kb, there is no reason to require
the suffix ). 

Since tomcat4.0 doesn't seem to require this ( AFAIK ), people will have 
to edit their pages even if they keep using the same jsp version. 

Seriously, can anyone point to any reason for this  ?? I'm 
just curious, I assume there was some tought into it - and I fail to
see what. Any JSP expert around ?
