Summary: 664044: 2.2.6.2 String formatting operations

Initial Comment:
Documentation states that format % object returns a
Unicode string if either format or object are unicode.
 However, in the conversion table, the documentation
for the conversion "s" states that a String will be
returned.  It does not state that a unicode String will
be returned if the formatter is u"s" or if the object
being converted is unicode.  

I added a note to clarify the conversion table.  It
simply states that in the event of a unicode formatter
or a unicode string being converted, a unicode string
(not a regular string) will be returned.
