Hide dna:nodeDefinition Property from Users
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: DNA-357
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-357
             Project: DNA
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: JCR
            Reporter: Brian Carothers
            Priority: Minor


dna:nodeDefinition is a bit of an odd duck.  It is set on every property but doesn't always have a valid JCR definition.  This breaks an export-import round trip as the property cannot be set during import.  It also breaks a few TCK tests that assume a jcr:xmltext node only has two properties (jcr:primaryType and jcr:xmlcharacters), but that's really a TCK defect.

Can we just suppress this property at the JCR layer?  It would still be available for internal use but would not appear to end users.  Alternatively, we should modify our definition for nt:base to include it as a protected property - this solution may violate the spec.
