You *can* retrieve them, just not in the way you want. They're added as request
parameters and available via JSP EL like so:
${param.foo}
I'm a bit fuzzy on the details but I don't believe the action tag goes through
the normal request process but instead invokes the action through a proxy--that
may short-circuit the interceptor stack and so on, but I'd rather someone with
a bit more knowledge tackled that question.
Personally I think the action tag has more serious issues than this relatively
minor one.

Not all that early, really.

Since you follow struts-dev you know that issues like this are discussed
frequently. Also bear in mind that *your* useless may not be somebody else's.
And, as with all volunteer efforts, the things that matter most to the
committers are the ones that tend to get dealt with first, and that time is
often quite limited.
If you have a particular itch to scratch patches are always welcome--feel free
to contribute a fix (or more) to the action tag so it exhibits the behavior you
want (or a completely new tag); it'll most likely be reviewed and evaluated.
