You must always use *NS methods, The non *NS methods should dia a horrible death.

Also the code that is throwing the exception has not changed so I suppose it
also happens in 1.4.beta2 and even 1.3.

I can prevent the NPE but it will silently fail and will never find a element.
The only sensible thing is to throw an exception when localName  is null (i.e.
has be done with non NS member). 
The problem is that then we should fill the code in several other parts with
this check, to be consistent.


What do you all think?

Anyway I downgrade the severity of the bug.
