resolving issue. 

workspace-importing protected items is not supported.
we can address this if we really have need and/or time to carefully test the corresponding patch.

> SessionImporter and WorkspaceImporter currently skip all protected items encountered during import except for some special cases
> (see JCR-2172 and WorkspaceImporter#postProcessNode).
> The specification only mandates that protected content is treated in a consistent manner, but allows the implementation to either import or ignore it.
> Find attached a patch containing some initials steps to allow to extend the default import behavior:
> Instead of skipping protected items (and in case of nodes the complete tree below it), they should be passed to a separate handler,
> that may or may not be able to deal with them and needs to assert, that they are in a valid format.
> The patch includes:
> - Abstract classes for that protected item import
> - Default implementations that never import protected nodes (same behavior as we have today)
> - An example implementation for the AC-content (just to see if it works for simple cases) + some trivial tests.
> - Changes to SessionImporter to demonstrate how import of protected items would be enabled.
> The patch doesn't include yet:
> - Changes to WorkspaceImporter (would +- be according to SessionImporter)
> - Changes to WorkspaceImpl/SessionImpl as well as configuration that would allow to modify the default behavior.
> - Examples for import of protected properties.
> - Examples for workspace import.
> The patch has the following limitations or TODOs:
> - Proper handling of protected references properties or non-protected ref properties with the tree defined by a protected node.
> - Test / Careful review if the various ImportUUIDBehaviors are/can properly be covered, specially in case of "replace-existing".
> The patch in addition addresses:
> - An inconsistency in the SessionImporter:
>   > Attempt to import protected content below an existing protected node => skipped
>   > Attempt to import protected content that doesn't yet exist => first node is imported, ConstraintViolationException for child-nodes.
>   > This behavior is also reflected in the Node-stack... where in the first case 'null' is pushed, in the second case the first protected node.
>      (see also JCR-2172 for details).
