Martin,
In javac, you have that explicit level of control. From the
command-line help
-Xdoclint:(all|none|[-]<group>)[/<access>]
Enable or disable specific checks for problems in javadoc comments,
where <group> is one of accessibility, html, missing,
reference, or syntax,
and <access> is one of public, protected, package, or private.
In javadoc, the rule is to check the comments being accessed by javadoc ...
so if you don't want to write comments in javadoc format, don't run javadoc
on those comments!

Naturally I added the flag -Xdoclint:all,-missing
BUT I'd like to be able to control which access levels require javadoc comments.
Few style guides will want to require javadoc comments on private elements.
