When I read some old posts discussing changes to the converts I thought 
you where trying to re-invent Format. All that would be required is a 
factory/cache that finds/builds the correct instance and perhaps some 
new Format subclasses.

If you can code MyOwnBigDecimal, then my would it be impossible to code 
a MyOwnFormat and register it with the factory/cache?

I don't know how the new converters work - I'm sure they're great. I 
look forward to the next new release!
