Window defines only a getter. According to latest WebIDL draft, this means that
named properties are ReadOnly, which causes to ignore all attempts to set them.
This is different to the browsers I tested (Firefox 3.5, Arora 0.10, Opera
10.0), which replace the corresponding named property with a new one,
containing the new value.

Testcase:
<iframe src="http://example.org" name="iframe"></iframe>
<script>alert(iframe); iframe = "test"; alert(iframe);</script>

Note: this may be a bug in WebIDL instead.
