I know. ECMA-262, paragraph 10.1.6, page 38. There is stated that
ECMAScript program can access members of the activation object, like
the arguments property, not the object itself, however, it's not
done in this case.

I didn't find any information about addressing arguments object by
explicitly used function object. It is not discussed in the standard.
However, it's not declared as illegal as well.

Yes, when I deleted all references to <func> from the <func>.arguments
thing, the real page started to work. However, I know at least 3 sites
which contain this and they aren't under my control. I'm afraid that their
webmasters will not change their code on my request, especially when it works
from NN as well as from MSIE :-(
  So, solving this on our side to make it work again will be highly
appreciated!
