Description
The spec for XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType.NODESET 
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.xml/javax/xml/xpath/XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType.html#NODESET
says:

> "The XPath 1.0 NodeSet data type. Maps to org.w3c.dom.NodeList."

However for OpenJDK implementation the following returns null:

   XPathResultType.getQNameType(org.w3c.dom.NodeList.class)

While BTW for NODE OpenJDK implementation matches the spec and works as expected:

  XPathResultType.getQNameType(Node.class) returns XPathConstants.NODE

It's been also noticed that the following is not correct: ================================ NODE public static final XPathEvaluationResult.XPathResultType NODE The XPath 1.0 NodeSet data type. ================================ It is Node data type, not NodeSet
