I'm going to rip out the </li> then. It's an unnecessary burden.
Thanks

You are fiddling with the javadoc for getChars, which is an independent change. (I
am also fiddling with getChars in another ongoing change). I don't think closing
html tags for <li> are required in javadoc. If you are going to change the
exception javadoc, then also change @exception to @throws.
The only reason I'm adding </li> is Alan insisted on it in a previous change I
proposed :-)
I don't recall the full context but I have got confused by an early build of
doclint where this was an issue.
</li> is required by XHTML but not by HTML. doclint was too aggressive about
this in early builds.
Having </li> does no harm but it's not required.
