> The new Resource Resolver (JcrResourceResolver2) supports namespace mangling to prevent JCR paths containing colons, that is namespace prefixed names), being used in URLs.
> Upon ResourceResolver.map, any prefix: is converted to _prefix_ while on ResourceResolver.resolver any mangled _prefix_ is converted to a real prefix:. This reverse mangling vom _prefix_ to prefix: is only applied if prefix is really a registered namespace prefix. otherwise the _prefix_ remains unmodified.
> Currently this namespace mangling is disabled by default. Now there are not only usecases with applications out in the wild having issues with colons in the path part of URLs, there are also real issues with client browsers if prefixed names are used as relative URLs. In this case browsers may assume the prefix not as part of the relative path but as an absolute URI where the prefix is the scheme name, which of course would fail the application.
> Therefore, the default value for namespace mangling should be changed to "enabled".
