My first response was partially incorrect; I looked at the Javadoc 
sources and there is indeed support for Doclint there; I think that for 
technical reasons the Xdoclint is treated as a doclet options - for that 
reason the option is not exposed through normal 'help' message when you 
do 'javadoc -X'. The support is there nevertheless as the same options 
that can be passed to javac should be accepted by javadoc (in fact, 
doclint support is up and running in our JDK builds [1]).

Jon will certainly give you more info about this and tell whether the 
fact that doclint option are not shown in the javadoc help is a bug or 
not (I think it looks like one).

Thanks
Maurizio
