I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=860841 with a patch to do this. The specific behavior I'm implementing is that the prototype of the interface object for interface X is the interface object of the nearest ancestor of X that has one, and Function.prototype if there is no such ancestor. So for example, with that patch Object.getPrototypeOf(HTMLElement) == Element, and Object.getPrototypeOf(XMLHttpRequest) == EventTarget. Note that this doesn't quite match the proto chain, because Object.getPrototypeOf(XMLHttpRequest.prototype) is the prototype object for the XMLHttpRequestEventTarget interface, but that interface is [NoInterfaceObject]. -Boris
