[a11y-request] Issue: WebAssembly 2024-09-17 > 2024-10-01 (#91) marked as REVIEW REQUESTED

dschuff has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request as "REVIEW REQUESTED":

== WebAssembly 2024-09-17 > 2024-10-01 ==
In the issue title above add the document name followed by the date of this request, then the date of your proposed deadline for comments.

This is a request for transition for version 2.0 of all 3 WebAssembly specifications, namely the [core](https://www.w3.org/TR/wasm-core-2/) spec, which defines the core code format and semantics;
the [JS API](https://www.w3.org/TR/wasm-core-2/) specification, which provides a JavaScript API for interacting with WebAssembly; and the [Web API](https://www.w3.org/TR/wasm-web-api-2/) specification, which describes the integration of WebAssembly with the broader web platform. 

- What and when is your next expected transition? 
CR, as soon as horizontal review is done.

- What has changed since any previous review?
All of the analysis herein concerns the changes made since Wasm 1.0. These are listed
[here](https://www.w3.org/TR/wasm-core-2/#release-20) and include the following extension
proposals:
Sign extension instructions; Non-trapping float-to-int conversions; multi-value block types and function results;
reference types, table instructions, and multiple tables; bulk memory and table instructions; SIMD vector instructions. Links to overviews of each proposal can be found in the proposal's respective github repo (these are listed [here](https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals?tab=readme-ov-file)). 

- Please point to the results of your own self-review (see https://w3c.github.io/apa/fast/checklist.html)
https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/issues/1804#issuecomment-2357253428

- Where and how to file issues arising?
https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/issues

- Pointer to any explainer for the spec?
There is not an explainer for the entire spec (and in any case it is fairly large). Links to explainers/overviews for each
of the 5 proposals can be found in the proposal's respective github repo (these are listed [here](https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals?tab=readme-ov-file)). 

Other comments:
Since WebAssembly is a specification for the representation and semantics of computation, it seems there is very little interaction with accessibility principles.
