Any Principal or name of a Principal when compared to an NobodyPrincipal
using {@link #equals(Object) equals} or {@link #compareTo(Object) compareTo} 
will always be found not equal to the NobodyPrincipal.

Note that this class is not likely to operate correctly in a collection
since the hashCode() and equals() methods are not correlated.
