Ben FWIW I think it's reasonable to mostly go ahead and land https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc/pull/883 where it's at with notes on various follow-ups. I feel that it's in a reasonable enough shape for prototyping/testing and as a blocker for doing lots of other stuff I think it's ok to not try to get it absolutely perfect before landing (insofar as while I could debate stdio further I think we're in the diminishing returns phase)

Sounds good. Thanks for all your feedback; I do think it's in a much better overall place now. I'll try and get the testing stuff figured out soon + stdout as a TTY and then try to get it landed.

And then I guess the next thing would be to pull it into wasi-sdk, and then at that point hopefully we're able to start doing some end-to-end iteration.

Ryan and I are also working through reviews on a lot of the Firefox implementation, so hopefully it won't be too long before we can even start writing some early docs.
