I [@pfmoore] propose the following checks:
These checks are not comprehensive - the idea is to ensure people aren't uploading corrupt wheels, not to act as a full validation suite.
I'm honestly saddened that we need to do this. Deliberate violation of the wheel spec seems like the sort of bevaviour that should be fixable simply by letting the author of the invalid wheel know of their mistake. Having to defend against deliberate attempts to undermine the standardisation work going on is depressing.
