+/**
+ ** FeatureDescriptor is the common superclass for all JavaBeans Descriptor classes.
+ ** JavaBeans descriptors are abstract descriptors of properties,
+ ** events, methods, beans, etc.<P>
+ **
+ ** <STRONG>Documentation Convention:</STRONG> for proper
+ ** Internalization of Beans inside an RAD tool, sometimes there
+ ** are two names for a property or method: a programmatic, or
+ ** locale-independent name, which can be used anywhere, and a
+ ** localized, display name, for ease of use. In the
+ ** documentation I will specify different String values as
+ ** either <EM>programmatic</EM> or <EM>localized</EM> to
+ ** make this distinction clear.
