Re: [whatwg/webidl] Can a platform object’s associated Realm really change? (Issue #1189)

@TimothyGu Oh wow — I (think I) remember reading about that [[Prototype]]-swap-on-adoption behavior a long time ago (in spec text I think? was it specified at one point?). It looks like maybe this [impressive/terrifying](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1489308) set of changes (part 5 & 6?) were where the long gone logic you mentioned got gone. Didn’t realize document.open used to be even weirder!

@petervanderbeken That thread is wild lol. “Re-parenting primitives”! Calling web devs “muggles” unironically!? [This?????](https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20567#c12) Only one third through but I love the chaos density & the insight into how folks were thinking about this a decade ago so much — thank you for linking this.
