instance when setting a property or a parameter on a 
{@link javax.xml.transform.Transformer} object,
this specification defines that a
String "qname" object parameter be passed as two-part string, the namespace URI
enclosed in curly braces ({}), followed by the local name. If the qname has a

the name is a '{' character.
