IIRC, JSP 2.0 happens in J2EE SDK 1.4.
IIRC, Servlets 2.4 happens in J2EE SDK 1.4.
Why can't JSP 1.4 be in in J2EE SDK 1.4?
Why can't Servlets 1.4 be in J2EE SDK 1.4?
Why is EJB 2.1 in 1.4? Don't we have enough arcanums to remember with out adding independent counters and indices?

it makes sense when you know when each of the specs started.
Servlets started before JSPs, hence it has a higher version number. The latest JSP spec (2.0) was slated to be JSP 1.4, but contained so many major changes / enhancements that it was upped to 2.0.
Similar stories behind the other versions. They're each seperate specifications so they each deserve their own numbering system.
Now if you were to argue the fact that we're on JDK 1.4 (and soon to be 1.5) yet its still called J2SE... who knows what they'll do when JDK 2.0 finally comes out
