This is an excellent idea Bernhard. I, for one, would encourage
you to continue with it.

Are you seeing this as a hurdle, or simply as something
that needs to be amended before your application can
proceed?

I do not understand why such elements cause trouble.
Can you provide an example? If they are not valid elements
according to the document-v10.dtd then surely we can
simply tweak the javadoc comments inside each *.java

In your example above, do you intend to have <p> wrappers
around each information line following the <s2 title="...
so as to provide the layout that you have shown? If so,
then i can see how that may cause troubles with embedded
elements. We could simply define a coding convention for
the "{first sentence of class javadoc}".
