This bug occurs when I use a javax.xml.transform.sax.TransformerHandler to 
transform a document, such that the result tree is sent to an 
org.xml.sax.ContentHandler. When the TransformerHandler calls 
ContentHandler.startElement() to report the start of the document element, 
which has an XML namespace, the attributes argument contains the namespace 
declaration attribute (e.g., xmlns:u="http://www.example.com/"), even though 
the SAX2 http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes feature is false. 
According to the SAX2 standard, the attributes argument of the 
ContentHandler.startElement() method should not contain any XML namespace 
declarations when the SAX2 http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes 
feature false.
