Java 8 RFR 6476168: (fmt) Inconsistency formatting subnormal doubles with hexadecimal conversion

[Joe Darcy]

Hi Brian,

In the javadoc change, is there a reason for

     [1, 12],

rather than just

     [1, 12],

?

The update should discuss how normal (that is non-subnormal) values are 
handled with reduced precision.

The change should include tests of the newly specified behavior.

Cheers,

-Joe
