It is not constructable but it has a prototype.

This is speced in WebIDL:

http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#interface-object

> The interface object for a given non-callback interface is a function object.

-------------------

WebKit also returns `"object"` for `typeof XMLHttpRequest` which is clearly constructable. ;-)

----------------------

The DOM interface objects are like:

class HTMLElement extends Element {
  constructor() {
    throw new TypeError('Illegal constructor');
  }
}
