No way to edit the poll text at this point, but this question gets asked a lot, so I think it's worth emphasizing: compatibility with Java's format strings for non-localized formats will be provided, no matter the outcome. You'll be able to copy-paste them into your code. The question is how you would prefer to define formats typically: via a Java-style format string, via a format string of another form, or via a DSL/builder API.
