I know there are times when I use additional spacing after the leading
asterisk specifically for visual formatting, in particular when inside
<code> tags, <pre> tags, and simple lists. See the "DocBlock Description
Details" section of the PhpDocumentor manual for examples (
http://pear.php.net/package/PhpDocu...tml#basics.desc
).

Will this new restriction apply in these cases?

Sorry, I wrote the wrong thing there. This is for an asterisk on a line
with a tag, like @param. I can't enforce it elsewhere for the exact
reason you specified. I too often use indentation in comments to aid
readability.
