I don't think this would suffice in my situation, unfortunately, though
it sounds worth doing for other reasons.

I need to know the base URI as the parse is going on so that I can
return an input source for a properly-interpreted system id for 
the next entity to be parsed.  I don't think I have any access to
DOM nodes at this point.
