Why is the Eclipse JSP editor uncapable of double-click selecting in a reasonable manner?

I'd like to double click 'user' in this string

<h:outputText value="#{req.user}">

and then only "user" should be selected, as it's the only behaviour which makes sense in a Java environment, but (stupid) Eclipse selects the whole string between the quotes.

This is still present in Eclipes Helios.

Maybe I'm missing out something but I didn't find a setting which allows to change that behaviour.

Grateful for any hints or just whining about this missing feature (or rather bug) ...

it's that way because the JSP Editor is using the XML strategy for handling double-click (a lot of code is shared from the XML Editor), and no one has ever requested it work otherwise in Bugzilla.
