Research direction
Start by investigating how PHP extensions are currently provided in the WebAssembly PHP runtime; the issue names dom and libxml as the missing extensions. Confirm the relevant extension-loading entry point and test coverage before defining done as making both extensions available to Web Stories without requiring host changes.
