Other comments:
This is a request for transition for version 2.0 of all 3 WebAssembly specifications, namely the core spec, which defines the core code format and semantics;
the JS API specification, which provides a JavaScript API for interacting with WebAssembly; and the Web API specification, which describes the integration of WebAssembly with the broader web platform.

For review convenience, here is a list of the explainers for the proposals that have gone into 2.0, compared to 1.0 (currently in REC state). These are informal descriptions of the proposed changes and are not canonical, but describe an overview of the feature and could be useful in determining whether there is anything of interest for horizontal reviewers.

Note also that the specifications contain change history sections summarizing additions to each spec (core, JS, Web)
listing and summarizing additions since version 1.0. The table summarizes the effect on the JS spec. The Web spec is unchanged since 1.0
