[dsdp-tm-dev] RE: @noextend on interfaces

Hi Dave,

Extending an interface does not have any impact on any
Code, and cannot actually break anything -- as long as 
You don't implement any (sub) interface.

I guess that's why the API Tooling Team decided to no
Longer support the "@noextend" tag for interfaces.
There's a bug for this on bugzilaa, and the API_Javadoc_Tags
Wiki also explains it.

Cheers,
