Currently the idea is opaque transferability using the host's transferring capabilities. @erights points out that prior art in this space has allowed running on other computers, not just other realms, and for that you need a serialization format that can be transmitted over the network (e.g. via fetch()). This seems doable, with the exact details dependent on various other aspects of the proposal (e.g. its exact relation to functions).
