Should Window spec add parentWindow property to documents?
Window Object 1.0 calls for documents to implement the DocumentWindow interface, which inherits from AbstractView, and therefore gives a way to get the Window (but as an AbstractView) via the defaultView property. However, IE doesn’t implement this; instead it has a parentWindow property which gets you the document’s window object (*not* the parent document’s window object). Current implementation state is as follows: parentWindow defaultView IE Yes No Firefox No Yes Safari No Wrong Opera Yes Yes Options would be: 1) forget about defaultView, just have parentWindow 2) don’t add parentWindow 3) keep both I favor #3.
