Personally, I don't see a reason to revert the javadoc changes. There's no turning back the clock on the javadoc processing engine -- it's not like 9 or 10 is going to stop warning about malformed HTML. Although I am not a Math contributor/commiter, I support the change since going forward it will make the doc generation predictable.
