I thought that the code is eval'ed :/

Ok, this source provides more consistent information:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/webappapis.html#event-handler-content-attributes

"7. Set up the script's global object [...]" + "This is typically a 
Window object. In JavaScript, this corresponds to the global object." 
(http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/webappapis.html#script%27s-global-object)

If I understood it correctly the code inside event-handler attribute is 
executed in global context, right?
