Ahh, the problem wasn't that I wasn't viewing the source. It was that I 
thought you were referring to all the author's in the right hand column 
{who DO have mailto:}

And double quotes are lame for non-spaced attribute values.

I feel your general gist here is wrong given that I put '?' and not 'n'. I 
never said Velocity didn't have something. I said it was undetermined by 
this page.

As far as the motivation for the page and putting Velocity on there goes, 
it was to facilitate extensive discussions on templating on our mailing 
list. We needed a common place to see the list of solutions and click 
through to them, as opposed to digging through all the mail messages.

Mission accomplished {and without misstating any attributes of any packages}.

No, in Java they are "doc comments". I remember that term now from my early 
Java days. I also double checked Sun's Java tutorial.

javadoc is a utility, just like pydoc

Agreed. Done.

Yeah, but now it's "retro" so it's cool.  :)

Just like ABBA...
