I was referring more to an example such as this in Instant.java

* <h3>Time-scale</h3>
 * <p>
 * The length of the solar day is the standard way that humans measure time.
 * This has traditionally been subdivided into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 
seconds,
 * forming a 86400 second day.
 * <p>

I believe this is no longer correct with the current html standards.  tidy 
complained to me when I ran against one my my doclint reported javadocs for 
tags like that that I did not fix (and a slew of other errors which I am
going to let go for now).

Just trying to know if it is just enough to address what doclint is complaining 
about or should I go further?
