Description

JCR defines an empty namespace with an empty prefix which applies to all item names that just consist of a local name:

3.2.5.3 Qualified Form with the Empty Namespace

The qualified form of a name (““, L) (i.e., with the empty string as namespace) is not written as :L but simply as L. The former is not a valid qualified JCR name.

while the PrefixPattern doesn't prevent the empty prefix to be defined as a prefix, it currently skips evaluation if prefix of the name to be evaluated is empty.
