In general I prefer to be explicit. Why overload a comment with another function when we can have an element to contain the text. Javadoc doesn't really do that since it uses a special comment delimiter. Anyway, such an element is no more a magic element than <target> and <property> are now. Is there a reason why we want to avoid new elements under project? Conor
