I may not be thinking about the spectrum clearly enough. Do you have some examples in mind? It seems like the 99% case is people saying "Don't use this anymore; use <that> instead." > Developers will just have to be judicious > in their use of a free-form message; it more-or-less works for > JavaDoc. (tangent: ModuleDoc?) In javadoc, it has always seemed like an un-usefully underconstrained tag. Everbody says exactly the same things, phrased every-so-slightly differently. > If you want to lock it down, the most useful thing to be able to > specify is a URL with additional information. I don't think that handles the most common use case, though. Wouldn't the most common thing be, "Don't use this; use <that>"? Most people will go to the absolute minimum trouble necessary, so it's unlikely people would be included to create an actual URL to point to.
