That would be me. And actually, to be totally concrete, it would be 'erased everything but the method declarations to use as a stub.' I wrote those taglets before I started using an IDE that would write stubs for you, I'm sure I grabbed the ToDoTaglet out of the Taglet tutorial and erased everything but the method declarations as an easy way to get a stub implementation of a Taglet. There shouldn't be any code from ToDoTaglet in either of those files. I probably put that comment in to remind me where to get a stub if I needed one. I'm sort of surprised they don't all have that comment, since I'm quite sure I used my first implementation as a template for the others. But I'm more surprised that this was not caught sooner. I'll remove the comment as it actually inaccurate, and was not meant to reflect inheritance from ToDoTaglet, any more than an IDE stub implementing a Taglet would be. andrew
