I believe it is the first of these, but I wouldn't know where to find non-Window global scopes that nontheless somehow relate to a DOM. Did you have any in mind? Would SVGGlobal be an example of such? I am not sure if any SVGGlobal implementations have the behavior I describe, or for that matter whether such implementations should be considered as not at least trying to implement a Window object.
