Also, would there not be a way to save Flash sites/games with WASM?

  Sure you could, but you need to build a swf runtime first ... There were a few projects (one from Mozilla - Shumway), but nothing really great. SWF is a complicated format.

    It's one of those specs where the standard is "Whatever the engine does," right? That runtime is likely to end up looking a lot more like a console hardware emulator than a data parser.

      I'm not intimately familiar with the SWF standard but I think it's well defined, just complicated (because Flash did a lot) and with potential patent and licensing minefields.

        Oh, it's not. Adobe themselves were too scared to change anything, and just shipped multiple versions of their runtime under the hood to account for all the different versions.

          Hah, that's amazing. So even Adobe was solving the problem by treating it like a console emulator. :-p
