One problem is that so far there is no W3C specification defining
something like a global window object with a predefined document
property. There is a movement by now however to try to define stuff as
W3C standards that has been established by browser/user agent
implementations.
But in terms of the history of SVG 1.0 and viewers like Adobe SVG
viewer 2.0 your approach was justified I think. I don't remember for
sure myself but the Adove SVG viewer 3.0 PDF documentation says that
stuff like
window
window.document
respective
document
where not supported before the 3.0 viewer.
Browsers/user agents like Opera or Firefox had those properties all
the time before they even supported SVG so with such viewers you won't
have any problems.
