+ When trying to replace Crimson (from JAXP1.1 ref. impl.) by Xerces 1.3.1 our
+ application fails to parse documents because empty local names are reported to
+ the ContentHandlers.
+ The problem might be solved by setting the namespaceAware property to true on
+ the SAXParserFactory prior allocating the parser.
+ 
+ We think Xerces should default namespaceAware to true as SAX2.0 specification
+ (in ContentHandler#startElement) states that:
+  "the Namespace URI and local name are required when the namespaces property is
+ true (the default)"
