So WF2 requires scripting support in the UA's?   Can I request once
again that the WHATWG get some people with some accessibility
knowledge into the WG since requiring scripting is simply not
possible, the AT's are simply not able to deal with it.   In any case,
I don't see ECMAScript listed as a requirement, so it's still possible
that non-JS DOM bindings and WF2 UA's will exist.

The W3 DOM specs do not rely on that de-facto behaviour at all, the
example script did, I have indeed commented about the lack of a window
object with it's associated lack of document property.
