AttList fails to convert namespace URIs

           Summary: AttList fails to convert namespace URIs
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xml.utils
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hsato@jmail.plala.or.jp


org.apache.xml.utils.AttList fails to convert namespace URIs when they represent
"No namespaces". 
For example, suppose AttList.getValue(String, String) method is invoked as
attList.getValue("", "some-local-name").
Then AttList is expected to invoke NamedNodeMap.getNamedItemNS(String, String)
as m_attrs.getNamedItemNS(null, "some-local-name"), 
while in current implementation it invokes m_attrs.getNamedItemNS("",
"some-local-names") and results no suitable attribute nodes.
No conversion of "" into null is performed, but it is required.

This problem casts a blight upon codes like below:
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer().transform(domSource, saxResult);
where saxResult's ContentHandler receives instances of AttList as arguments of
invocation of startElement.
