Agreed.

The DOM is alas built from nominal types, so many people believe (x instaceof I) for some WebIDL-declared interface I, even if that I came from another window or frame, "should just work".

Of course, if the other frame's I.prototype has been extended with a quux property, x won't inherit that property. But that's not how instanceof is used with DOM interfaces, at least.

At this point I am in favor of making instanceof more useful for WebIDL consumers, than in being pedantic about prototype chains and multiple global objects.
