Hmm, I and Aslak had some offline discussions recently, he actually
developed a prototype and we came to the conclusion that that's the way
to go but we can hide it under an xjavadoc cover. Basically he used
javacc and its visitor-based system to traverse source files and add
Xdoclet-annotated @tags to the source. It's something we need for the
GUI tool recently I spoke about. But we did a brain storming and found
out that we can actually hide this push model under a nice accessor API
and we also noticed that we can actually replace Sun's Javadoc Doclet
API with ours! So that's the whole story. Started from a little
prototype to test validity of the path and ended in something huge :-)

I'm sure Aslak will enlighten you more when he has something to commit
:-)
