That isn't exactly true. See step 1 of
http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-10.4.3 Strict mode
functions accept whatever is passed to them as a thisValue without modifying
it.
It's true that the function call operator
http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-11.2.3 passes undefined as
the thisValue (step 7.a) but other means of function invocation (the call/apply
functions) can pass null as the thisValue to a function.
BTW, I'm not arguing against the proposed change (I'm reserving judgement on
that), just saying that it isn't an ES requirement one way or the other.
