As people like roc have pointed out in the past:
http://robert.ocallahan.org/2013/05/blink-pnacl-and-standards.html
Pepper is not a documented standard, and is tied to Chrome internals.
Are we prepared to have to keep tweaking our implementation to match
theirs, and to whatever contortions are needed to the inside of our
product so that it works enough like theirs for the APIs to make sense?

Also, you say "minimum set" - what is Pepper used for apart from PDFium
and Flash? Surely to get those to work, you basically need to implement
everything?
