 There are relatively few objects in Gecko that are associated with a

-inside of it. Most such objects are attached to the docshell. An important object associated with the docshell is the outer window object in the DOM code (where both the outer and inner window objects are implemented by
+inside of it. Most such objects are attached to the docshell. An important object associated with the docshell is the nsGlobalWindowOuter which is what the HTML5 spec refers to as a WindowProxy (into which Window objects, as implemented by nsGlobalWindowInner, are loaded).  See the DOM section below for more information on
-nsGlobalWindow, though HTML5 describes the outer window as a WindowProxy
-and the inner window as a Window).  See DOM for more information on
 this.
