I don't control the xml source document structure or the url 
parameters. I basically just have control over stylesheet
parameter name and the stylesheet's content:

  http://www.domain.com/DoIt?xml=file.xml&xsl=file.xsl

file.xml and file.xsl are placed on the server through some other
mechanism and the only thing I can author or modify is file.xsl.

So in loading this URL in IE6, is there a way to gain access
to the the above URL *during* transformation? Are there any objects
exposed within in the scope of the following javascript call?
Or do I have to wait till the transformation is complete and
then learn the URL through handling the onload event:

<body onload="AccessDocumentLocationHref()">

Does this clear up what I am asking? I want to know what objects
if any might be available durng transformation through JavaScript?
Clearly document does not exist yet when the javascript is called.
