     ATTENTION: This interface is marked <em>internal</em> and does not
     have the <em>published</em> flag, which means it is subject to
     change without notice and should not be used outside the OOo core.
-    The current version is a draft and works only for English language
-    locales. Future enhancements adding functionality for other locales
-    should use the "ordinal" RuleBasedNumberFormat of the ICU if
-    possible, see
-    http://icu.sourceforge.net/apiref/icu4c/classRuleBasedNumberFormat.html
-    which might make it necessary to change the interface.
