6486887: (prefs) Preferences sync fails if jaxp transform provider doesn't support indent-number

[bha@worldnet.att.net]

I'm planning to look into providing a back-port patch for this bug. It is marked as fixed in jdk 7, but a bunch of us really need it fixed in jdk 6 too. This Preferences Impl bug is a regression, as it works fine in jdk 5.

That said, is anybody else already working on this, and/or any words of warning/wisdom/advice?

Thanks,
Dan Rollo
