> Spec for UnknownFormatConversionException says:
> "Unless otherwise specified, passing a null argument to any method or constructor in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown."
> But RI's implementation of  UnknownFormatConversionException  constructor accept null String silently. 
> Harmony's implementation comply with spec.
