Description

When I use a javax.xml.transform.sax.TransformerHandler to transform a
document, such that the result tree is sent to an org.xml.sax.ContentHandler,
the TransformerHandler sometimes sets the namespace argument of the
ContentHandler.startElement() and ContentHandler.endElement() methods to null.
According to the SAX2 standard, the namespace argument should never be set to
null; instead, it should be set to the empty string.
