ok. then I retract my previous statement (that I could imply one from the other). though I do think standard sugar for detecting strict mode presence would be awesome! -C

Not sure how you can assume the latter from the former:

if (! function() { "use strict"; return this; }()) {
"use strict";

/* I'm an ES5 browser and DEFINITELY in strict mode now; doesn't matter what came before me... */
}

Gotcha -- I wouldn't call that assuming, since you had to say "use strict" twice. But I was being a logic nerd. Carry on!

Today is short message with error-correcting followup day. :-/

You can't write "use strict"; as a pragma at the start of a block. You have to do it at the start of a function body or program.
