CDE: adding feature value type in default namespace does not work correctly
snip
When adding a feature in the type system editor, try choosing a type in the 
default (i.e., empty) namespace.  The type will be added with a leading period. 
 Seems like the code does not check for the empty namespace.
  


There are 2 ways to fix this - one is to just fix this one thing, the 
other is to declare it is an error to have a type without a namespace. 

Which should we do?  Recall that the the documentation says that 
namespaces should be used, and also that no-namespace types currently 
fail when using JCasGen, as well.

It would break some of my test cases, but I would survive ;-)  How much 
user code would this decision break, though?
