    * This static method creates a new factory instance. This method uses the
    * following ordered lookup procedure to determine the XMLOutputFactory
    * implementation class to load:
+   * </p>
+   * <ul>
+   * <li>
    *   Use the javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory system property.
+   * </li>
+   * <li>
    *   Use the properties file "lib/stax.properties" in the JRE directory.
    *     This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format
    *     and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class
    *     with the key being the system property defined above.
-   *   Use the Services API (as detailed in the JAR specification), if available,
-   *     to determine the classname. The Services API will look for a classname
-   *     in the file META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory in jars
-   *     available to the runtime.
-   *   Platform default XMLOutputFactory instance.
-   *
+   * </li>
+   * <li>
+   *   Use the service-provider loading facilities, defined by the
+   *   {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} class, to attempt to locate and load an
+   *   implementation of the service.
+   * </li>
+   * <li>
+   *   Otherwise, the system-default implementation is returned.
+   * </li>
+   * <p>
    * Once an application has obtained a reference to a XMLOutputFactory it
    * can use the factory to configure and obtain stream instances.

    *   No changes in behavior are defined by this replacement method relative to the
    *   deprecated method.
