I thought they're already a part of the public API described in the current javadoc, e.g. ListFormat.Style and ListFormat.Type (https://cr.openjdk.org/~naoto/JDK-8041488-ListPatterns-PR/api.00/java.base/java/text/ListFormat.html). I thought you meant to support general patterns (the List Patterns) and a few (specific) "type attributes" as in the LDML spec. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15130#discussion_r1316375403
