-     * 1) If the vendor id in the OFVendor message is an unknown value,

-     *    set to null. In this case typically the factory method should
-     *    return an instance of OFGenericVendorData that just contains
-     *    the raw byte array of the vendor data.
-     *    
-     * 2) If the vendor id is known but no vendor data type has been
-     *    registered for the data in the message, then vendorId is set to
-     *    the appropriate OFVendorId instance and OFVendorDataType is set
-     *    to null. This would typically be handled the same way as #1
-     *    
-     * 3) If both the vendor id and and vendor data type are known, then
-     *    typically you'd just call the method in OFVendorDataType to
-     *    instantiate the appropriate subclass of OFVendorData.
-     *
