It does say this, but it's rather obscure.  The second paragraph:

   Set <C>proto</C> to <C>NULL</C> to force JS to assign a prototype
   object for you. In this case, <C>JS_NewObject</C> attempts to assign
   the new object the prototype object belonging to <C>clasp</C>, if one
   is defined there. Otherwise, it creates an empty object stub for the
   prototype.<P/>

I could change it to read:

   Set <C>proto</C> to <C>NULL</C> to force JS to assign a prototype
   object for you. In this case, <C>JS_NewObject</C> attempts to assign
   the new object the prototype object belonging to <C>clasp</C>. If
   <C>clasp</C> is <C>NULL</C> it creates an empty object stub for the
   prototype.<P/>

Any comments?
