Sounds reasonable - I'll make the change. Thanks, Roger

Hi Brent,

I'm not sure we have a best practice for referring to other classes but I think that the {@code } references to Collator could be {@link java.text.Collator} and the @See tags can be omitted. It puts the link where the reader sees the reference and is just as informative. Otherwise, looks good. Roger

Please review my doc/spec change (no code) for 8138824. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138824 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8138824/webrev.0/ Specdiff: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8138824/specdiff.0/overview-summary.html

This change addresses a longstanding mismatch between spec and implementation, clarifies comparison methods which do not account for locale, and adds references to the locale-aware java.text.Collator. Thanks, -Brent
