/**
 * A <code>Format</code> abstracts an exact media format.
 * It carries no encoding-specific parameters 
 * or timing information global to the presentation.
 * <p>
 * <h3> Comparing different formats </h3>
 * Not all of the attributes in a <code>Format</code> object have to be specified.
 * This enables selected attributes to be specified, making it possible to 
 * locate a supported <CODE>Format</CODE> that meets certain requirements without needing to
 * find an exact match. 
 * <p>
 * Two methods are provided for comparing <code>Formats</code>.
 * The <code>equals</code> method returns <CODE>true</CODE> if two <CODE>Format</CODE> 
 * objects are exactly the same--they're the same type and all of their attributes are the
 * same.  The <code>matches</code> method relaxes the comparison, comparing
 * only the attributes that are explicitly specified in the <CODE>Format</CODE> you are comparing.
