 [Web Assembly (Wasm)][wasm] presents a tantelizing substrate for browser-based isolated components. In 2024, it is possible to run programs written in many languages (C, Rust, JavaScript, Java and Python to name just a few) within the Wasm runtime that is available in all major web browsers. Furthermore, [Wasm Components][wasm-components] provide a common IDL ([WIT][wit]) and ABI for connecting Wasm originating from different language toolchains. [The Bytecode Alliance][bytecode-alliance] hosts a number of tools that enable polyfill-like workflows while Wasm Components are still nascent.
 
+#### Core Wasm and Wasm Components
+
+Wasm runtimes in web browsers all implement [Core Wasm], which may be thought of as the minimum viable API for Wasm to be a useful construct.
+
+[Wasm Components][wasm-components] constitute an ABI defined on top of [Core Wasm], as part of ongoing [WASI] development efforts. Native support for Wasm Components is available in some Wasm runtimes, but it is not as ubiquitous as [Core Wasm].

 ### Components
 
-Although the term "component" is commonly used to refer to discrete, composable units of a user interface, this document uses the term in the sense of a [Wasm Component][wasm-components]. In this sense, a component may be thought of as any re-usable chunk of software.

 For the purposes of reasoning about what may or may not be part of a component's interface: anything that can be expressed in a [WIT][wit] definition is considered a candidate (this means you can express anything you want, probably).
