<P>
Interface for formatting elements of a header value.
This is the complement to <A HREF="../../../../org/apache/http/message/HeaderValueParser.html" title="interface in org.apache.http.message"><CODE>HeaderValueParser</CODE></A>.
Instances of this interface are expected to be stateless and thread-safe.
<p>
All formatting methods accept an optional buffer argument.
If a buffer is passed in, the formatted element will be appended
and the modified buffer is returned. If no buffer is passed in,
a new buffer will be created and filled with the formatted element.
In both cases, the caller is allowed to modify the returned buffer.
