Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-5073:
---------------------------------------

While I agree with Nicholas that the value approach is more correct. I think 
that Suresh's approach leads to a more readable annotation. It also let's us do 
things like:

{noformat}
public @interface Audience {
  public @interface Public {}
  public @interface LimitedPrivate {
    String[] target;
  }
  public @interface Private {}
}
{noformat}

where limited private things have to list their targets.
