Sure. And the latter section says: It is the responsibility of specifications using Web IDL to state which global environment (or, by proxy, which global object) each platform object is associated with. And my point is that the XHR spec doesn't state that. Stating that the return value is associated with the same global environment as the constructor that was used to create it would do the trick. On the other hand, maybe that should just be in WebIDL? Are there use cases for constructors which create platform objects associated with a different global than the constructor itself? -Boris
