OK, I'll do a review in the next few days.

Could you post an update to your LiveDoc site [1]. Apparently, it still
serves the old taglet's output. At least, I couldn't see a change.

Sure. You know where our bugtracker is, do you? (Hint: [2] ;-)

OK, here's my current train of thought:

- There are three types of override model (ovrd, ovrp, ovrm) so clearly
your Doclet hasn't been the last word on overriding.

- I would also like to see a proof of concept that you can, with your
Doclet API, add information to all the places where it makes sense: At
class level, method level, and maybe even aggregated results at package
level.

- So, explore overriding some more. It doesn't have to go all into a
single Doclet, so there's no risk to overwhelm a user with *more* than
you could possibly want to know about overrides.

But we can talk about this some more on Wednesday.

Best wishes,

Andreas
