I think the first two sections might make for a nice product sheet for
developers to pass along to the suits. Like a hand-out you might pickup
at a tradeshow. A PDF would be very cool here. (I have the distiller and
so can make those here.) 

I like the idea of a Struts Components section, but I'm not sure where
it would go. It seems like it should be placed early in the
documentation outline, but the current User Guide focusses on the MVC
architecture, which makes a Struts component overview a better fit at
the end, perhaps as Chapter 5. Dunno.

Personally, I'd like to see our entire approach to installation turned
upside down, so that people are encouraged to download the WARs first
and install those. Then do some development using only the Struts.jar,
and, finally, (if you really, really have to ;-) build Struts from
scratch.
