The Formatting interface defines the basic methods needed to enable setting and getting formatting for a display object. In this way, some widget set specific formatting object can be applied to a display object without the plugin's association knowing anything about the formatting object.

Plugins that implement the Formatting interface only need to know how to get and set the formatting object of their display objects.
