I don't think that's quite what you want. For multiple documents inside of a single window instance this is already true:
var d1 = document.implementation.createHTMLDocument("text/html");
var t1 = d1.createElement("table");
var t0 = document.createElement("table");
t0 instanceof HTMLTableElement
> true
t1 instanceof HTMLTableElement
> true
t0.ownerDocument === t1.ownerDocument
> false
(The above is IE10 current behavior)
I think you are asking that when comparing instances of elements originating from two different window objects the instanceof check can return true.
Will this be new ECMAScript 6 behavior for instanceof, or will this require some new operator/method? (I may have missed this earlier in the thread...)
