Phpdocs aren't "user documentation" only, not for a long time (I mean the concept, not the particular application called phpDocumentor, of course). They are being used as metadata in many places. You could argue that's misguided but you can't ignore the fact that's what people do. The "goals and usages" of those tags are exactly metadata - and regardless of the annotations, I'd be happy if Reflection recognized it finally (by integrating some kind of phpdoc tag parser).

I second that word for word. FWIW, I don't see it as misguided at all. Zeev
