The `event' _there_ does _not_ refer to a global event object in IE 

Is that supposed to be a statement of fact,

(well, maybe it does indirectly, but to think about that is futile).

or a statement that, for all intents and purposes, may as well be considered fact? I can accept the latter for the sake of simplicity, but not the former unless you can prove otherwise.

[MLW:] 
  window.event == event

will evaluate to false,

Indeed, as it should.

Even if event is a property of an object in the scope chain other than the global object, I would find it hard to believe that its value is a reference to a separate object.

I maintain (unless someone proves to the contrary) that they are not only references to the same object, but the same property and the result of the comparison above is a symptom of the behaviour exhibited when window.event is compared to itself.
