It's still an issue even for xjavadoc. You're going to use javadoc.exe
to generate docs from your source code, right? Do you want to drawn in
the "unknown tag" noise? No, so you'd better use the dotted syntax if
one day you're going to use JDK1.4's javadoc tool.

So to make it clear:
@namespace.tag is the recommended syntax for users, but you write your
template files with the old namespace:tag syntax so that the old syntax
is also supported.

Andrew, please make it item #1 in 1.1.2's changes.txt.
