Correct, but irrelevant.  In the majority of cases, i.e. in the majority
of currently used implementations of ECMAScript, variables are _not_ 
properties; contrary to your statement.  And without further qualification, 
“ECMAScript” ought to refer to the current Edition of ECMAScript (here).

Your newsreader is broken: it has mangled properly declared and encoded 
Unicode characters in my posting when you quoted it.  See also RFC 5536, 
section “MIME Conformance”.
