  The method QName.valueOf() accepts the following illegal names (see test.java below):
  
      {test://jaxp13}ts:p001
      test://jaxp13:p001
      [test://jaxp13]p001
      {}p001
      
According to the method javadoc:

   If the String is null or does not conform to QName.toString() formatting, an
   IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
   
   The String MUST be in the form returned by QName.toString().
   
   The commonly accepted way of representing a QName as a String was defined by James
   Clark. Although this is not a standard specification, it is in common use, e.g.
   Transformer.setParameter(String name, Object value). This implementation parses a
   String formatted as: "{" + Namespace URI + "}" + local part. If the Namespace URI
   .equals(XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI), only the local part should be provided.

the method should throw IllegalArgumentException.
  
  The bug appears in jdk1.5.0beta-b22 and affects new JCK1.5 tests:
