I have just encountered new problem: When I start node name with number,
I get exception from XPathQueryBuilder when performing XPathQuery. Is it
a bug, or just my assumption that this should work is wrong? Should I

It's a feature, not a bug. JCR names are a superset of XML names, and
thus you can have a node name starting with a number even though it
wouldn't be a valid XML element name. Since XPath is based on XML, it
also considers such names invalid. To work around that issue the JCR
spec notes that the XPath queries are interpreted as if they were
executed against the document view XML mapping of the repository.
Thus, you need to use the _xNNNN_ encoding format for any JCR names
that are not valid XML names.

Thanks a lot, that explains it. However it seems to be a little
inconsistency. Maybe it would be nice to implement this translation in
jackrabbit itself?
