Re: [heycam/webidl] Define "implements" checks using internal slots (#595)

 It is the responsibility of specifications using Web IDL to state
 which global environment (or, by proxy, which global object) each platform
 object is associated with.
 
+<div algorithm>
+    To <dfn>create an object implementing the interface</dfn> |interface|, with optional
+    intenal slots |slots|, for an interface which is not declared with the
+    [{{Global}}] [=extended attribute=], perform the following steps:
+
+    1. If |slots| is provided, append \[[PrimaryInterface]] to |slots|.
+    1. Otherwise, let |slots| be &laquo; \[[PrimaryInterface]] &raquo;.
+    1. Let |proto| be the [=interface prototype object=] of |interface|.
+    1. Let |instance| be [$ObjectCreate$](|proto|, |slots|).
+    1. Set |instance|.\[[PrimaryInterface]] to |interface|.
+    1. Let |realm| be the current [=Realm=].

In previous discussions we wanted to default to the relevant realm, not the current one. And indeed it should be required in some scenarios; it would be a spec bug not to pass it. https://github.com/heycam/webidl/issues/135
