JDK-8187447: 2081 doc issues in jvmti.html

Sat Jan 13 01:06:29 UTC 2018

Hi Alex,

The fix is pretty impressive.
Thank you for taking care about all these html issues!

I'd like to ask about one thing.
The renaming of the <p> element into <sep> in the jvmti.xml is not
that necessary but is very intrusive as it impacts too many places.
Could you, please, keep these elements as they are for now?

Thanks,
Serguei
