Nono: what's explained here is that some parsers may not report the 
qName if their namespace-prefixes property is false. The 
ContentHandler.startElement() javadoc clearly states that the 
namespaceURI *is never null* !

Passing null namespace URIs is a well known source or crashes for Xalan :-/
Great, thanks for the info!
Does that mean that the empty string is not allowed as a namespace URI?
