That's pretty good, though I may tweak it a bit.  I'm not sure about what kind
of formatting is available in this string, but I'll look into it.  I do
suspect that at this point in the release cycle we'll need to get a UI freeze
exception for this change.  Let's get the code looking good and then follow on
with that process.
