Thanks, guys.

I think I'll go with your suggested language David. I realize this might be somewhat unnecessary, but I'm trying to tighten up the javadoc in String as much as possible. I prefer to err on the side of completeness than leave doubts as to what's going on. As such, I don't mind adding a bit of verbiage to make things clear without having the user guess or hop around the docs to verify.

Cheers, Jim

Note that subsequent operations on this StringBuffer can reduce the actual capacity below that requested here.
