Parsing of named parameters in JavaDoc does not like spaces

Using the latest 1.4 snapshot:

The method that parses a Javadoc tag up into named parameters uses a StringTokenizer to do the work. This causes an unnatural formatting restriction on the developers part.

@hibernate.class table = "Users"

The extra space around the '=' character causes the tokenizer to see three individual parameters for this tag instead of one. It sees no named parameters.

I don't believe named parameters are part of the Javadoc spec, but they are used a lot; particularly in nearly every XDoclet subtask. XDoclet does not consider whitespace around the equals sign to be a factor when determining named parameters.
