This fix has the problem that you have an "inappropriate" import in the 
toolkit
package for a class from the formats.html package.  The intended design 
is that
the toolkit packages are "format neutral" and do not depend on any specific
output format. Although we don't use that feature today, in the past it 
has been
used to generate alternate output files, like FrameMaker etc.

Although it need not be part of this work, we should revive the idea of 
having
tests that verify that imports follow the intended constraints.  We did 
this with
some amount of scripting during the doclet conversion; I'll see what can be
done in a more formal manner.
