In SVG Tiny 1.2, resource documents (i.e., those loaded because of an
external reference in an svg:use, xbl:import, etc.) will have script
running in them.[1]  Each will have its own global object, but isn't
rendered in any way.  The concept of a window for such documents
doesn't make much sense.  (What would it mean for a resource document to
navigate to a new location by assigning to location.href?)  The only
methods of the Window interface that I can see that would make sense
here are the timer-related ones.

So I am not sure that the connection between script and Window is the
right one.
