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?
