Per Hixie the Document is associated with both the old and the new
Window. Meaning that XMLHttpRequest will function normally even though
XMLHttpRequest != window.XMLHttpRequest. Testing in Opera reveals this
to work fine.
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.open()
var x = new XMLHttpRequest;
x.open("GET", "image", false) // evil
x.send()
w(x.responseText)
}
</script>

Given this, I think the XMLHttpRequest needs no change, although it
would probably be wise to cover this in the test suite.
