Well.  It depends on whether we want to use the old Window or the new 
one, for one thing....

What do UAs do right now?  Until pretty recently, Gecko used the 
currently active Window in the browsing context, assuming it was 
same-origin with the Window the constructor came from.  At this point we 
use the Window the constructor came from, but it's been causing some 
problems; hence this thread.
