But it can be confusing to users since they've been using them since JDK 1.5
Related to JDK-8023276[1] where we added two packages to JDK 9
Speaking of which, has it occurred to anyone that it might be confusing to
users that JDK 9 and JDK 1.9 are the same thing? Isn't it time we got rid of
Hi,
Related to JDK-8023276[1] where we added two packages to JDK 9, we
should update @since to have 1.9 value as well.

These packages were defined in JDK 1.5 / JAXP 1.3 (JSR 206). In that
sense, they were in JDK since 1.5.
For reasons I don't know, they were excluded from the Java API
Documentation. From the tag conventions

I don't have a strong preference in this case, and I hear you that those
classes are public and can be accessed in 1.5 even though it's not part
of API specification of JDK.
Considered DOM Level 2 is still listed as secondary information, and as
the document you pointed out, 1.9 is used
