The concern I have with doing that is that document created through
other means, such as .implementation.createDocument,
XSLTProccessor.transformToDocument, DOMParser.parse, etc, probably
should not be in the 'uninitialized' state. Especially the last two
should return documents that is in the 'complete' state I would think.
