 JAXP 1.1 method javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.getFeature(String name)
throws an SAXNotRecognizedException when invoked with argument
"http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" (See test1.java below).
But this feature should be recognized by the method.

p. 4.1.9 "public abstract boolean getFeature(String name)" of JAXP 1.1 spec
(jaxp-pd1.pdf) reads :

" Throws a SAXNotSupportedException if the underlying parser
  recognizes but doesn't support the option. "

SAX 2.0 specification (http://www.megginson.com/SAX/Java/features.html) requires
that all org.xml.sax.XMLReader implementations should recognize and support the
"http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" and the
"http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes" features.
 
Note that the method org.xml.sax.XMLReader.getFeature() works correctly with
same parameter (See test2.java below).

This bug present in builds jaxp-1.1ea-b8 and jaxp-1.1fcs-b9 and affects
new tests in TCK JAXP 1.1
