       JAXP 1.1 method javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.setFeature(String name,
      boolean value)
      throws an SAXNotRecognizedException when it's used to set a feature
      "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" (See test1.java below).
      But this feature should be recognized by the method.

        p. 4.1.8 "public abstract void setFeature(String name, boolean value)"
      of JAXP 1.1 spec (jaxp-pd1.pdf) reads :

      " Throws a SAXNotRecognizedException if the underlying parser can't recognize
      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.setFeature() processes such argument
      correctly (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
