+ * This class is the abstract superclass of classes that format and parse
+ * data to/from <code>Strings</code>. It is guaranteed that any
+ * <code>String</code> produced by a concrete subclass of <code>Format</code>
+ * will be parseable by that same subclass.
+ * <p>
+ * In addition to implementing the abstract methods in this class, subclasses
+ * should provide static factory methods of the form
+ * <code>getInstance()</code> and <code>getInstance(Locale)</code> if the
+ * subclass loads different formatting/parsing schemes based on locale.
+ * These subclasses should also implement a static method called
+ * <code>getAvailableLocales()</code> which returns an array of
+ * available locales in the current runtime environment.
