It probably means accessing another contexts' global object directly via an iframe (or child window), which works for matching domains and throws a security exception otherwise.

Right... I suppose the author presupposed you have a handle on the other window, which you can only get from window.open(), <iframe>, etc.
Makes me wonder what kind of race conditions can happen between contexts sharing global objects. Are they guaranteed to behave as if they were one context? i.e., single threaded?
