It completes the loop. The condition is only evaluated at the beginning
of each loop, and at no other time.
I always thought EL's loops were weak. They need an "Exit Loop"
statement that can abort the loop in the middle, similar to 'break'
in C/C++/Java. To get around this you need to have tests inside the
loop that change a variable that gets tested at the beginning of
each loop.
