   * value visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the
   * new language level; this visitor will have different default
   * behavior for the visit method in question.  When the new visitor is
   * introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
   *
+  * <p>Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method
+  * in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a <em>default
+  * method</em> directly in the visitor interface since a Java SE 8
+  * language feature cannot be used to this version of the API since
+  * this version is required to be runnable on Java SE 7
+  * implementations.  Future versions of the API that are only required
+  * to run on Java SE 8 and later may take advantage of default methods
+  * in this situation.
+  *
   * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods
   * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
