Are you asking if you can stack the dryer on top of the washer, and then
those two on top of a single pedestal?

Yes. I don't see anywhere where it says you can or can not do this given
the standard Whirlpool pedestal.

While I can find the Whirlpool Duet Sport Stack Kit (8541503), I can't
find
the bracket that braces the pedestal to the stacked Whirlpool Duet Sport
washer (WTW8410SW) & dryer (WED8410SW).

Anyone who installs a washer & dryer would run into this in the first
month
of deliveries as I can't be the ONLY person in the world who wants to
stack
a washer & dryer on a pedestal, can I?

I'm 5'6 so the only problem might be getting to the controls though.

A couple of questions that occur to me that should be checked:
(a) what weight is the pedestal rated for?
(b) what is the combined weight of the dryer and washer?

Weight problems could well be one reason you can't find any references to
folks having done it before.

My sales training, selling these at Sears, was that you could not stack both
units on a single pedestal. Having seen and set a pedestal up on the sales
floor, they don't seem to be substantial enough for the job.

How high is this pedestal?

What would be the point if the top will come out more than 7 feet
high? Why not skip the pedestal?

Why can't the washer sit on the floor, like mine does and every one
I've seen since 1957? (The one we had before that said on a wooden
orange crate, because the basement flooded. Is that the reason?)
