+ * These functions provide convenient support for localized text properties, including a number
+ * of special and obscure aspects. Localized text properties are stored in alt-text arrays. They
+ * allow multiple concurrent localizations of a property value, for example a document title or
+ * copyright in several languages. The most important aspect of these functions is that they
+ * select an appropriate array item based on one or two RFC 3066 language tags. One of these
+ * languages, the "specific" language, is preferred and selected if there is an exact match. For
+ * many languages it is also possible to define a "generic" language that may be used if there
+ * is no specific language match. The generic language must be a valid RFC 3066 primary subtag,
+ * or the empty string. For example, a specific language of "en-US" should be used in the US,
+ * and a specific language of "en-UK" should be used in England. It is also appropriate to use
+ * "en" as the generic language in each case. If a US document goes to England, the "en-US"
+ * title is selected by using the "en" generic language and the "en-UK" specific language. It is
+ * considered poor practice, but allowed, to pass a specific language that is just an RFC 3066
+ * primary tag. For example "en" is not a good specific language, it should only be used as a
+ * generic language. Passing "i" or "x" as the generic language is also considered poor practice
+ * but allowed. Advice from the W3C about the use of RFC 3066 language tags can be found at:
+ * http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/
+ * <p>
+ * <em>Note:</em> RFC 3066 language tags must be treated in a case insensitive manner. The XMP
+ * Toolkit does this by normalizing their capitalization:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li> The primary subtag is lower case, the suggested practice of ISO 639.
+ * <li> All 2 letter secondary subtags are upper case, the suggested practice of ISO 3166.
+ * <li> All other subtags are lower case. The XMP specification defines an artificial language,
+ * <li>"x-default", that is used to explicitly denote a default item in an alt-text array.
+ * </ul>
+ * The XMP toolkit normalizes alt-text arrays such that the x-default item is the first item.
+ * The SetLocalizedText function has several special features related to the x-default item, see
+ * its description for details. The selection of the array item is the same for GetLocalizedText
+ * and SetLocalizedText:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li> Look for an exact match with the specific language.
+ * <li> If a generic language is given, look for a partial match.
+ * <li> Look for an x-default item.
+ * <li> Choose the first item.
+ * </ul>
+ * A partial match with the generic language is where the start of the item's language matches
+ * the generic string and the next character is '-'. An exact match is also recognized as a
+ * degenerate case. It is fine to pass x-default as the specific language. In this case,
+ * selection of an x-default item is an exact match by the first rule, not a selection by the
+ * 3rd rule. The last 2 rules are fallbacks used when the specific and generic languages fail to
+ * produce a match. <code>getLocalizedText</code> returns information about a selected item in
+ * an alt-text array. The array item is selected according to the rules given above.
+ *
+ * <em>Note:</em> In a future version of this API a method
+ * using Java <code>java.lang.Locale</code> will be added.
