If you mean the DEFAULT format here then that achieves nothing, as the user would have to override any unwanted settings - and the use would have to know which ones to override. If the DEFAULT format were ever later updated, that could invalidate the user's format. I meant that the ctor should be equivalent to PRISTINE or perhaps PRISTINE + CRLF. To fit in with the fluent API, there needs to be a static method. was (Author: s...@apache.org): bq. +0 for a no arg constructor equivalent to the default format.
