I dunno. I think javadoc tags are perfect for the job of declaring metadata 
(which is an independent concern of aspects).

Aspects are completely different and *may* choose to use the rich data, may be 
hardwired, may be application configured etc. I also prefer to have aspects 
at boundaries. 

Given that we are mainly doing COP that mostly occurs at interfaces which is 
perfect given that interceptors + dynamic proxies can fill  that gap.
