Did you just say that the window object isn't a host object? So I
presume you've found some long lost chapter of the ECMA specs that
(oddly enough) defines a browser-specific object. Please share,
Jorge. This could change everything!
And don't bother quoting that bit where they speculate what the host
object might reference (or mimic) in browsers.

Oh it's your old stalwart: the insanity defense. I should have known
you were leading up to that one.

Your logic is swiss cheese. Nothing prevents them from *not* being
native objects. In fact (depending on how you look at it) by
definition they cannot be considered native objects. Black can't be
white; up can't be down; Jorge can't be sane; and so on...

By "made them so", you seem to be indicating that behind-the-scenes
they use the same code used to implement native objects in those three
"clever" browsers. It's interesting though that some of their
"native" objects break the rules in the specs. Perhaps they are
restless native objects? Something between a native and a host
object?
Or perhaps you are (once again) wasting everyone's time with confused
babbling?

Get your own shtick, Jorge.
