It is a bug that -X does not list doclint.   doclint is available within 
javadoc;
the option is the same as for javac, except that you cannot specify access
modifiers within the option. Instead, doclint will check all doc comments
being included in the generated documentation.

I suggest followups to javadoc-dev.
