     * (2) giving the translet an early opportunity to extract anything from

     *     the DOMImpl that it would like

     *

     *      translet.documentPrepass(_dom);

     *

     * (3) setting the document URI:

     *

     *      _dom.setDocumentURI(uri);

     *

     * @param baseURI The base URI used by the document call.

     * @param href The href argument passed to the document function.

     * @param translet A reference to the translet requesting the document
