I've had a quick look over the PR, and my main thought is that if we're going to specify a 'build sdist' step, we need to specify more precisely what an sdist actually means. The PEP as currently written expects a 'source tree' as the input for building a wheel, but does not really need to specify sdists, beyond being a possible source of a source tree. If the backend needs to produce an sdist from a source tree, I think we need a clearer picture of what the expected result looks like.
