* This class is the abstract superclass of classes that format and parse

* <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.
