And calling it the "holy grail" is a bit generous. At least the Holy
Grail has some small chance of still existing in one piece. The problem
you mention is just plain impossible to completely solve.

The benefit simply doesn't exist. If the page author did something to
hide the HTML source, then it's entirely unrelated to JSTL. You've been
distracted by a red herring.
As someone else mentioned, if you want to see what's really happening
there, you can just use wget to retrieve the page and examine it in a
hex binary editor or a text editor.
