      Summary

      Update the spec for Taglet and StandardDoclet to better describe their interaction.

      Problem

      The Taglet API is a service provider interface (SPI) but does not adequately specify how it should be called. In addition, StandardDoclet does not specify any requirement on the text generated by a taglet, but should.

      Solution

      Specify how a doclet should interact with a taglet and the requirements on taglets invoked from the standard doclet.

      Specification

      There are no behavioral changes; this is just a clarification of existing behavior
