I have Couple of questions about latest WebAssembly status

(1) I have seen that WASM works like charm in Chrome and FireFox and 
believe check-ins are happening in Chakra(Edges). What is the state (and 
any indicator of release readiness) in Safari; especially all (webkit based)* 
iOS browsers*(iphone/ipad) ? Infact asm.js is absent in ios (under 
development - but not sure of timelines)

(2) What is the current recommended way of testing Wasm support (feature 
detection) in browser ?

(3) A key thing missing in asm.js is fast "allow memory growth/shrink" 
option (true dynamic memory support upto 1 or 2 gb). Is it tacked in 
Webassembly(wasm32) in FF and Chrome efficiently -any example test-code 
(performance characteristics) ?

(4) I see the page about webassembly security on main site but I would like 
to see more papers (something like NaCl blackhat conference presentations) 
and attack vectors and mitigations. How c++ based vulnerabilities translate 
to WASM world(risk) and if separate WASM pipeline/processing opens up any 
additional attack surface (or is the attack surface/vector same as normal 
JS code) in design and browser impleentations

(5) Do we expect to see further improvements in WASM startup time in 
Chrome/FF (wasm streaming, cache, any parallelization or others) ? Or is it 
recommended to explore other avenues like wasm splitting (dynamic linking) 
based on profile/early-use-code, or any other?

[ (6) Just from theoretical point - will wasm run fine on browsers running 
on big-endian(or pdp-endian) systems ]

Thanks in advance.

Regards
