By the way, I'm not trying to gripe -- I'm just confused by the behavior and thought I might have made a mistake in my parse
pattern, or misunderstood the documentation. I'm still not sure if their documentation is wrong, or their implementation. Is there some place on the Sun site where I can document this apparent inconsistency?
