So correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it work to say that if the object the 
constructor is on is a Window things work as now and otherwise whatever 
specification placed the constructor on some other object is responsible for 
describing how one gets a document from that object?

Note that a lot of the text can still be shared (in terms of whether the calling 
scope or callee object determines the "right" document to use); all that depends 
on Window is how one actually gets the document, right?

I don't see a problem with saying that the test suite requires a Window, to be 
honest.  If we really wanted we could somehow flag the tests in the test suite 
that really have that as a hard requirement, of course, but realistically the 
tests are HTML files, aren't they?  So they would always have a Window...
