This is discussed in the simple modules spec:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:simple_modules
The top of the scope chain would not be a global *object* but there would still
be global bindings.
One of the things on my to-do list is to create a strawman for where all the
standard libraries would live. Presumably, the stuff that is in the initial
global object in <= ES5 would be in scope by default, ie in the initial
environment. So undefined, isNaN, Array, String, etc would still be accessible
through the usual means.
