Use string format instead uf prefix/suffix

Prefix/suffix is not locale friendly, using a String format instead would solve that problem.

Agreed. I'll explore ways to incorporate this feedback.

What comes to the top of my mind is an overloaded version of the setReferenceTime method that takes a format String and a varargs as parameters. However it might make sense to allow setting the format using an attribute too.

Fixed in v1.4.0. While it is not explicitly using String.format, it does deprecate prefix and suffix in favor of a more general hook to customize the text before display.
