Description
As of right now various specifications reference those PEPs but there is no complete view of what they contain (e.g. the sdist spec references PEP 518 for what pyproject.toml although technically it should also reference PEP 517 for being to actually build an sdist from a source tree). We should probably have a single specification that covers how to build sdists and wheels from a source tree which the sdist and wheel format specs can reference on how to end up with those binary artifacts.

Research direction
Start by reviewing PEPs 517, 518, and 660 alongside the existing sdist specification and wheel format specification in the specs section. Determine the scope of a unified specification for building sdists and wheels from a source tree and update the related references so the existing specs point to it.
