  The sample below shows that if an Element or Attr object is created with the
createElement(String) or the createAttribute(String) method then invocation of the method
org.w3c.dom.Node.cloneNode(deep) for this object returns clone with non-null localName.
  Note: the original object has a null value as its local name.
  
  The bug is detected in all builds since the jaxp-1.1.1-b23-01_mar_2001 till the build till the
build jaxp-1.1.1-b24-01_apr_2001 and affects following new tests in JCK Merlin (not yet
integrated)

  api/org_w3c_dom/Node/ClonedNodeTests.java#cloneNodeTest04

  api/org_w3c_dom/Node/ClonedNodeTests.java#cloneNodeTest23
  api/org_w3c_dom/Node/ClonedNodeTests.java#cloneNodeTest24
  
  There were bugs
    #4381233 ("Document.createAttribute() returns an attribute with non-null localName")
    #4381234 ("Document.createElement() returns an element with non-null localName")

  in JAXP builds before jaxp-1.1.1-b23-01_mar_2001, which possibly mask the reported bug.
  
  The bug does not appear if the nodes are created by DOM2 methods.
