Hi all.

The pre-xjavadoc xdoclet supports many different tag formats:

1) @once upon="a"
2) @while in the
3) @wild
4) @west there

I suggest that we refactor/remove all places where format 2) and 4) are
used. In other words, a tag can have zero or more parameters (or attributes
as I'd rather prefer to call them). This would be analogue to XML syntax:

a) <once upon="a"/>
b) <while in the/>
c) <wild/>
d) <west there/>

As you know, b) and d) is not valid XML, but 1) and 3) is. It's a bit messy
the way it is now. I know that this will break backwards compatibility with
some sources out there, but the next release is a major one (xjavadoc is
soon in), and I think we can justify it. Moreover, with the advent of
reverse xdoclet, xtags and xdoclet gui, it's preferrable to have a "cleaner"
syntax. What say ye?

Aslak
