  JAXP 1.1 method org.w3c.dom.Node.getLocalName() doesn't return null for Element and Attr objects created
with DOM Level 1 methods: createElement(String name), createAttribute(String name) (See test.java below).
  
    Definition of the attribute localName in p. 1.2 "Fundamental Interfaces" of DOM Level 2 Core
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247) reads:

" localName of type DOMString, readonly, introduced in DOM Level 2
      Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
      For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1
      method, such as createElement from the Document interface, this is always null. "

  This bug is found in builds jaxp-1.1ea-b07, jaxp-1.1ea-b08, jaxp-1.1ea-b09,
jaxp-1.1ea2-b10, jaxp-1.1ea2-b11, jaxp-1.1ea2-b12, jaxp-1.1ea2-b13, jaxp-1.1ea2-b14,
jaxp-1.1ea2-b15 and affects the new test in TCK JAXP 1.1:
