/**
 * Locales represent a specific country and culture. Classes which can be
 * passed a Locale object tailor their information for a given locale. For
 * instance, currency number formatting is handled differently for the USA
 * and France.
 *
 * <p>Locales are made up of a language code, a country code, and an optional
 * set of variant strings. Language codes are represented by
 * <a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt">
 * ISO 639:1988</a> w/ additions from ISO 639/RA Newsletter No. 1/1989
 * and a decision of the Advisory Committee of ISO/TC39 on August 8, 1997.
 *
 * <p>Country codes are represented by
 * <a href="http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html">
 * ISO 3166</a>. Variant strings are vendor and browser specific. Standard
 * variant strings include "POSIX" for POSIX, "WIN" for MS-Windows, and
 * "MAC" for Macintosh. When there is more than one variant string, they must
 * be separated by an underscore (U+005F).
 *
 * <p>The default locale is determined by the values of the system properties
 * user.language, user.region, and user.variant, defaulting to "en". Note that
 * the locale does NOT contain the conversion and formatting capabilities (for
 * that, use ResourceBundle and java.text). Rather, it is an immutable tag
 * object for identifying a given locale, which is referenced by these other
 * classes when they must make locale-dependent decisions.
 *
