This sounds like we might have to rethink how we treat the URI when caching the
image. If it's a relative URI, we'd have to prepend the base URI and only use
the absolute URI in the image cache. I don't think we do that now. That could
actually solve your problem.

The thing is: We assume that a resource can be identified uniquely by its URI.
After all there's the word "identifier" in "URI". If the same URI comes back,
we assume it's the same image. The URIResolver is only used when we have to
load the image (which is done once). The image loader framework then puts the
loaded image (subclass of org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.Image) into the
cache under this URI, further identified by the ImageFlavor (as multiple
representations of the same image can be stored in the image cache). So if you
re-request the same URI again, the cache returns the image directly. No detour
through the URIResolver.

So, to pass in an SVG DOM, your URIResolver will create a DOMSource instead of
a StreamSource. PreloaderSVG can make use of a DOMSource, so it doesn't have to
be serialized to a stream first, in case you build your SVG as a DOM somewhere.
