Description

While working on OODT-195, I uncovered a bug (that looks like mstarch was seeing too). The bug stems from the fact that some of the element descriptions in the test policy are null, which causes an XML writing error when the elements.xml file is saved out as exposed by testing OODT-195. Michael, thanks, you were correctly seeing a bug!
