Unmapped QName in system-property('x:y') causes NPE





------- Additional Comments From richcao@ca.ibm.com  2003-09-25 20:32 -------
The specs [1] say that for an invalid property, we should be returning the empty
string, rather than throwing an exception. Thus, I think processorinfoerr01, 02,
and 03 should be valid conf tests (where the empty string is returned instead of
an exception raised).

For processorinfoerr06, I think the correct behaviour is to raise a "namespace
not declared" error, rather than return an empty string or throwing an invalid
property exception. The specs [1] say that the argument must be a valid QName,
so the prefix must map to a namespace, which it does not.
