Review comment:
Thanks for raising this. I can't find a definitive answer by searching the
web.
Not sure about the `<p>`. It is legal HTML (not xHTML). I don't get a
warning/error in Eclipse. The POM has `<doclint>none</doclint>` and given the
scale and age of Jena, other places will have no closing `</p>`.
Elsewhere, I have projects using Java11 and no special configuration of the
javadoc plugin.
