   * <p>A well-formed locale key has the form
   * <code>[0-9a-zA-Z]{2}</code>.  A well-formed locale type has the
   * form <code>"" | [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8} ('-' [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8})*</code> (it
- * can be empty, or a series of subtags 3-8 alphanums in length). A
+ * can be empty, or a series of subtags 3-8 alphanumerics in length).  A
   * well-formed locale attribute has the form
   * <code>[0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8}</code> (it is a single subtag with the same
   * form as a locale type subtag).

This is the only place where I have replaced alphanums with 
alphanumerics, because the second word is used later in the class 
specification. For example:

      * <p><b>Note:</b> The <code>Locale</code> class does not provide any
      * syntactic restrictions on variant, while BCP 47 requires each 
variant
      * subtag to be 5 to 8 alphanumerics or a single numeric followed by 3
      * alphanumerics.  The method <code>setVariant</code> throws

I'll revert the change if you want.

Thanks,
SAM
