  The methods XMLUtils.IsValidNCName() accept invalid names (see test.java below). The
method isValidNCName(String ncName) returns true in case when ncName is ".abc". The method
isValidNCName(String ncName, String xmlVersion) returns true in case when ncName is
"\u05BFq", xmlVersion is 1.0 and in case when ncName is "\u00B7q", xmlVersion is 1.1 .
According to XML 1.0, 1.1 specifications names can not start with ".", "\u05BF" and
"\u00B7" so the methods should return false.

  The bug appears in jdk1.5.0beta-b22 and affects new JCK1.5 tests:
  
    api/javax_xml/XMLUtils/index.html#XMLUtils[IsValidNCName002]
    api/javax_xml/XMLUtils/index.html#XMLUtils[IsValidNCName004]
