I understood and agree with everything (or close enough) until your last:

What we don't have is an inter-realm extensible branding mechanism.
* typeof, Array.isArray, the ES5-compatible subset of O.p.toString.call's
behavior are inter-realm branding, but not extensible.
* === and WeakMap provide extensible branding, but not in a way that is
usable inter-realm.
* the rest of O.p.toString.call's behavior, i.e., the toStringTag
mechanism, is an inter-realm extensible labeling mechanism, but isn't a
branding mechanism.
Does the last bullet unask your question, or have I misunderstood?
