 # WebAssembly High-Level Goals
 
-1. Define a portable, size- and load-time-efficient binary format to serve as a
-   compilation target which can be compiled to execute at native speed by taking
-   advantage of common hardware capabilities.
-2. Define a human-editable text format that is convertible to and from the binary
-   format.
-3. Specify and implement incrementally:
-    * Design [v.1](V1.md) of the standard as a Minimum Viable Product with roughly
-      the same functionality as [asm.js](http://asmjs.org).
-    * Plan to iteratively specify [additional](EssentialPostV1Features.md)
-      [features](FutureFeatures.md) after v.1.
-    * Plan to iteratively improve support for compilation from languages other
-      than C/C++ (e.g., languages with [GC](FutureFeatures.md#gcdom-integration)).
-4. Ship an effective [polyfill](V1.md#polyfill) library for v.1 that translates
-   WebAssembly code into asm.js in the client so that WebAssembly can run on
-   existing browsers at high speeds.
-5. Design to execute within and integrate well with the *existing* web platform:
+1. Define a portable, size- and load-time-efficient [binary format](V1.md#binary-format)
+   to serve as a compilation target which can be compiled to execute at native
+   speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities.
+2. Specify and implement incrementally:
+    * design [v.1](V1.md) of the standard as a Minimum Viable Product with roughly
+      the same functionality as [asm.js](http://asmjs.org);
+    * ship an effective [polyfill](V1.md#polyfill) library for v.1 that translates
+      WebAssembly code into asm.js in the client so that WebAssembly v.1 can run on
+      existing browsers at high speeds;
+    * ship a follow-up to v.1 which adds several more
+      [essential features](EssentialPostV1Features.md); and
+    * continue to iteratively specify [additional features](FutureFeatures.md),
+      prioritized by feedback and experience, including support for languages other
+      than C/C++.
+3. Design to execute within and integrate well with the *existing* Web platform:
     * maintain the versionless, feature-tested and 
       [backwards-compatible](BinaryEncoding.md#backwards-compatibility) evolution
-      story of the web;
+      story of the Web;
     * execute in the same semantic universe as JavaScript;
     * allow synchronous calls to and from JavaScript;
-    * enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies; and
+    * enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies;
     * access browser functionality through the same Web APIs that are accessible
-      to JavaScript.
-6. Design to allow execution in non-browser environments.
-7. Enable great [tooling](Tooling.md).
+      to JavaScript; and
+    * define a human-editable text format that is convertible to and from the
+      binary format, supporting View Source functionality.
+4. Design to support (non-browser environments)[V1.md#non-browser-embedding]
+   as well.
+5. Make a great platform:
+    * build an [LLVM backend](https://github.com/WebAssembly/llvm) and
+      accompanying [clang port](https://github.com/WebAssembly/clang);
+    * promote other compilers and tools targeting WebAssembly; and
+    * enable other useful [tooling](Tooling.md).
