     *     the DOMImpl that it would like
     *
     *      translet.documentPrepass(_dom);
     *

     *      _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
