Native support for WebAPIs is blocked on garbage collection - WASM code will need to claim a reference to garbage-collected DOM/JS objects, and will need to be able to hand off GCed objects and callbacks to JS APIs.


Yes, we know that, and I even said that in my comment, which I'm sure you read.

But many things that were discussed in TFA are blocked on other things that were discussed, and yet still got hundreds of words of article space.


GC is listed under a section "Small modules interoperating with JavaScript", which talks about general access to JavaScript code. Web APIs are a subset of that usecase.
