1) Hack instanceof as Gecko has in the past. This is actually a bit of a pain to implement even in Gecko, without changes to SpiderMonkey, because function objects can't have the magic behavior the RHS needs above in SpiderMonkey at the moment.
We have decided to go this route in Gecko, I believe, given that Allen says this will be describable in ES6.
In the short term that means that our WebIDL interface objects will probably not be function objects but reasonable facsimiles. In the longer term we'll probably add a way to have functions have custom instanceof behavior to SpiderMonkey.
The next step is presumably getting WebIDL changed accordingly. With that in mind, I would welcome one single representative of another browser or browser engine commenting here... ;)
