Didn't see them till after I'd hit 'send', but by then it was too late.

I had another thought as to why hyphens are now a problem - could it be
related to the metadata JSR?  More specifically, are hyphens valid
characters in java identifiers?  I never use them myself, but can't
remember whether the Java Language Spec actually prohibits them (and
don't have it to hand at the moment); if so, and the metadata JSR is
planning to use @tags for attributes, and they're going to force
metadata attribute @tags to be valid identifiers (same as
class/package/variable names), then perhaps javadoc is enforcing it now
so that people get used to it?

Of course, that's a lot of 'if's, and could be absolutely nothing to do
with it.  Does anyone know what's going on with the metadata JSR?  Is it
in public review yet, or is it still only the expert group that know
what's planned?


Andrew.
