/**
 * Class Size2DSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common 
 * implementation of all attributes denoting a size in two dimensions. 
 * <P>
 * A two-dimensional size attribute's value consists of two items, the X 
 * dimension and the Y dimension. A two-dimensional size attribute may be 
 * constructed by supplying the two values and indicating the units in which the 
 * values are measured. Methods are provided to return a two-dimensional size 
 * attribute's values, indicating the units in which the values are to be 
 * returned. The two most common size units are inches (in) and millimeters 
 * (mm), and exported constants {@link #INCH <CODE>INCH</CODE>} and {@link #MM 
 * <CODE>MM</CODE>} are provided for indicating those units. 
 * <P>
 * Once constructed, a two-dimensional size attribute's value is immutable. 
 * <P>
 * <B>Design</B>
 * <P>
 * A two-dimensional size attribute's X and Y dimension values are stored 
 * internally as integers in units of micrometers (µm), where 1 micrometer 
 * = 10<SUP>-6</SUP> meter = 1/1000 millimeter = 1/25400 inch. This permits 
 * dimensions to be represented exactly to a precision of 1/1000 mm (= 1 
 * µm) or 1/100 inch (= 254 µm). If fractional inches are expressed in 
 * negative powers of two, this permits dimensions to be represented exactly to 
 * a precision of 1/8 inch (= 3175 µm) but not 1/16 inch (because 1/16 inch 
 * does not equal an integral number of µm). 
 * <P>
 * Storing the dimensions internally in common units of µm lets two size 
 * attributes be compared without regard to the units in which they were 
 * created; for example, 8.5 in will compare equal to 215.9 mm, as they both are 
 * stored as 215900 µm. For example, a lookup service can 
 * match resolution attributes based on equality of their serialized 
 * representations regardless of the units in which they were created. Using 
 * integers for internal storage allows precise equality comparisons to be done, 
 * which would not be guaranteed if an internal floating point representation 
 * were used. Note that if you're looking for U.S. letter sized media in metric 
 * units, you have to search for a media size of 215.9 x 279.4 mm; rounding off 
 * to an integral 216 x 279 mm will not match. 
 * <P>
 * The exported constant {@link #INCH <CODE>INCH</CODE>} is actually the 
 * conversion factor by which to multiply a value in inches to get the value in 
 * µm. Likewise, the exported constant {@link #MM <CODE>MM</CODE>} is the 
 * conversion factor by which to multiply a value in mm to get the value in 
 * µm. A client can specify a resolution value in units other than inches 
 * or mm by supplying its own conversion factor. However, since the internal 
 * units of µm was chosen with supporting only the external units of inch 
 * and mm in mind, there is no guarantee that the conversion factor for the 
 * client's units will be an exact integer. If the conversion factor isn't an 
 * exact integer, resolution values in the client's units won't be stored 
 * precisely. 
 * <P>
