I assume that all jdk.javadoc tests still pass and the JDK API Documentation
still builds, right?
src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/toolkit/taglets/ValueTaglet.java

Shouldn't we use this instead (as suggested by
`javax.lang.model.element.Element.equals`)?
Suggestion:
!field.equals(holder));
That said, I still wonder where the original author saw _inaccuracies_ with
`equals`. Have you investigated how that comment came to be?
