Java test harness does not detect significant differences in namespace nodes

           Summary: Java test harness does not detect significant
                    differences in namespace nodes
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: CurrentCVS
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: zongaro@ca.ibm.com


The Xalan-Java test harness does not detect significant differences in the 
namespace declarations in gold and actual output files.  In particular, if the 
gold output has a namespace declaration that is missing from the actual output, 
the test harness does not detect it; if the actual output has a namespace 
declaration that is not present in the gold file, the test harness does not 
detect it.

Following is an example bogus conformance test "whitespace36" that demonstrates 
this:
