OK, but can we at least make sure the browser devtools teams and compilers targeting JS are all on the same page with respect to this stuff? Do we know whether they are or not? This was not indicated in the initial intent in any way.

I think this would be a good thing to do anyway. Otherwise we're likely to end up needing to reverse-engineer other browsers around this stuff.

Specifically, we should have a spec for the sourcemap header, and separately we should have a spec for the sourcemap itself.

And we should actually register the header.

* Pull a wasm on the source map format: create an isomorphic, but much more
compact binary format
* Add the ability to encode source level scopes, bindings, and a way to
recover bindings' values

Those sound good, as part of the spec work...
