The use of javadoc tags or this is...well....I'm not sure. I think there is 
some stuf that goes in
the code, but my intent with the man pages was user-levle technical 
documentation. - such as what
apramters does this generator recognize, and what are valid values, or how 
shoudl the URI be
formatter, or what tags does a transformetr understand. User docs for each 
component. It certainly
won't solve all the documentation concerns, I agree, but it will provide a base 
level of reference
docs for users to work with. And it is vvery ganular, and should be easy to 
start, and there is a
very strong possibility of having the developers maintain it in a timely 
fashion.
