      Specification excerpt:
      ======================
      --------- J2SE API spec v.1.5 ---------
      ...
      public String toString()

          Returns a String object representing this UUID.

          The UUID string representation is as described by this BNF :

        UUID = "-" "-"
                                  "-"
                                  "-"
                                 
        time_low = 4*
        time_mid = 2*
        time_high_and_version = 2*
        variant_and_sequence = 2*
        node = 6*
        hexOctet =
        hexDigit =
              "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9"
              | "a" | "b" | "c" | "d" | "e" | "f"
              | "A" | "B" | "C" | "D" | "E" | "F"

      Problem description
      ===================
      Some part of API doc for java.util.UUID.toString() is not readable in the HTML browser.
      This part of documentation was copied from the Internet-Draft UUIDs and GUIDs,
      but some special characters (eg symbols for "greater" or "smaller") was not converted
      to corresponding escape symbols, readable as an html text. As a result, some information
      is simply missed from html representation of plain text document.
