It is nice and clear. I personally do not use the style but am willing to
change ;) Since we all know that Javadoc is [X?]HTML-lite, using "broken"
XHTML feels odd (unbalanced tags). I might be speaking from fuzzy memory
but I vaguely recall odd things happening in combination with opening,
closing and nesting some tags. I guess we could use <p> and deal with
special cases when they come up.

I see that with org.apache.commons.codec.digest.UnixCrypt.crypt(String)...
nasty! Good catch!

Yes, more nastiness.

The exceptions might have been there with the though of making all of these
classes implement a common interface. I do not seen the need for that ATM.
We can always add it later if needed.

Yes, please fix it all up as much as you can.

Thank you,
