I was there for one of the times that Phil (from Apple) explained dominator analysis and why it's an added complexity of a binary language. Phil is the architect of our JS VM and one of the main designers of WSL so I think he knows!

Your claim that the WSL spec tells you very little seems off to me. The spec includes formal semantics for everything. If some things aren't in the spec yet they can be added. There is also a pretty extensive test suite. To me the level of specification rigor is considerably higher than SPIR-V, which has an informal spec with separate documents for adding web safety.
