There is no point to quoting comments out of context with no link or
citation. Window will be a built-in object when it is defined as such
in some version of ECMA-262 (it is not in either ed3 or ed5). Until
then, it is, by definition, a host object.

Any further discussion should be in comp.lang.javascript. You should
take the advice offered there and just let it go.
