Just out of curiousity, where do you see any *API* level dependence of
Servlet 2.3 on JSP 1.2? The closest thing I can see is the <jsp-file>
declaration in deployment descriptor DTD, but that has nothing to do with
any of the classes in the "javax.servlet" and "javax.servlet.http"
packages -- which contain zero such dependencies.

It seems kinda silly to waste the time to set this up, when it makes
absolutely no difference to whether we publish two JARs or not (which is
clearly the preference of many) but you're free to spend your time if you
want to ...
