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| and |new.target| value |newTarget|, 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. If |NewTarget| is provided, let |instance| be ? [$OrdinaryCreateFromConstructor$](|newTarget|, "%ObjectPrototype%")

That makes sense. What I saw was some text in HTML to explain constructors which say that they create a new instance of the interface. I like your idea that we could just implicitly take in new.target in this particular case; I will think about what wording will make sense.
