[OpenAjaxIDE] Multiple returns question when not using paramName and paramValue

[Bertrand Le Roy]

Yes, it would be bad practice, but we should probably allow it.

Yes, my assumption was that multiple return values would be allowed for non-factory methods as well, though it's more likely that the return types would be different (e.g., "String" and "null").

Is the following allowed:

<method name="foo"...>
...
<return* datatype="Object">
<description>Returns a JavaScript object with these properties...</description>
</return*>
<return* datatype="Object">
<description>Returns a JavaScript object with these other properties...</description>
</return*>
</method>

(where return* is a placeholder for whatever tagname we decide on)

My question is whether it is allowed to have multiple return element without using paramName and paramValue. My guess is yes, that is indeed allowed, and the IDE just needs to deal with it somehow, where one option would be to display all of the possible return types in some sort of concatenated manner (e.g., first return at top, last return at bottom).
