      Summary

      Clarify the Locale.getDisplayName() method description regarding the separators in parentheses.

      Problem

      Currently, it is simply a comma character in the spec, which can actually be localized into locale specific separator character.

      Solution

      Add a clarifying text.

      Specification

      Add the following sentence to the end of the method description of Locale.getDisplayName() and Locale.getDisplayName(Locale), just before the last sentence: “If the language, script, country, and variant fields are all empty, this function returns the empty string.“

      The field separator in the above parentheses, denoted as a comma character, may be localized depending on the locale.
