Did you read the question I quoted in my previous mail?
To repeat it a third time. If do something along the lines of:
var func = window1.XMLHttpRequest;
var req = new (func.apply(window2)();
or some such, which is the "window from which you use the constructor"? window1
or window2?
If what I said is not possible to do, I'm happy, but then I'd like to be pointed
to the part of the ECMA spec that says so; I haven't been able to find it.

The fact that it uses a concept ("window from which you use the constructor")
that it never defines and doesn't reference a definition for?
