Andy,

It all depends on the use case. Javadoc was created to document 
packages, methods, and members, so it prefers to reference finer-grained 
things.

In a semantic description context (such as in RDF), though, it makes 
more sense to treat packages like namespaces, classes like resources, 
and members like resource properties. That would give us something like 
this:

<rdf:RDF
  xmlns:package="info:java/com/example/package#",
  xmlns:property="http://ploop.org/namespaces/property#"
 >
  <package:Class>
    <property:member>My value assigned to 
com.example.package.Class.member.</property:member>
  </package:Class>
</rdf:RDF>

See http://www.ploop.org/ to see where I'm going with this.
