Description Matt MacIvor CLA 2011-10-25 13:17:12 EDT 
Currently, DOMReader invokes the nested content handler's startElement and endElement using the node.getNamespaceURI method to obtain the uri. In the case that getNamespaceURI returns null, this can cause problems if the nested content handler isn't able to handle null. 

This should be changed to empty string to avoid problems.
