+ <dfn abstract-op lt="SetUpCrossRealmTransformReadable">SetUpCrossRealmTransformReadable(|stream|,

+
+ 1. Perform ! [$InitializeReadableStream$](|stream|).
+ 1. Let |controller| be a [=new=] {{ReadableStreamDefaultController}}.
+ 1. Let |backpressurePromise| be [=a new promise=].
+ 1. Add a handler for |port|'s {{MessagePort/message}} event with the following steps:
+  1. Let |data| be the data of the message.
+  1. If ! [$Type$](|data|) is not Object, return.

The other realm can be hostile. I thought about adding a note about the security concerns, but I'm not sure there's a concept of a "compromised agent cluster" in spec-land, so I couldn't think of a way to phrase it.
