Description
When using the EPSG:9883 projection for obtaining CRS by name using crsFactory.createFromName("epsg:9883"); raises an exception stating that the EPSG is not available. I have decrompressed the proj4j-epsg package and grepped for this number and this EPSG code is no where to be found.
If this is not a bug, it would be highly appreciated if there would be some information available regarding what EPSG codes can be expected to work.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the decompressed proj4j-epsg package and the crsFactory.createFromName("epsg:9883") lookup path. Determine how EPSG entries are sourced and whether 9883 is expected to be supported; done means the lookup behavior or supported-code documentation clearly addresses EPSG:9883.
