Description

Hi all
I'm trying to "migrate" some old C++ Code from Xerces 1.7.0 to Xerces 2.5.0 using the includes from the directory /dom/deprecated instead of using the new classes.

Now the method DOM_Document::createElement() crashes (core dump) when called with an empty string instead to throw an execption because of XMLChar1_0::isValidName(), on Xerces 1.7.0 it didn't crash.

IIt's definitely a regression.
