/**
 * Locales represent a specific country and culture.
 * <br><br>
 * 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.
 * <br><br>
 * Locales are made up of a language code, a country code, and an optional
 * set of variant strings.
 * <br><br>
 * Language codes are represented by
 * <a href="http://www.indigo.ie/egt/standards/iso639/iso639-1-en.html">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.
 * <br><br>
 * Country codes are represented by 
 * <a href="ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes">ISO 3166</a>.
 * <br><br>
 * 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).
 * <br><br>
 * The default locale is determined by the values of the system properties
 * user.language, user.region, and user.variant.
