Minutes

Peter: Not web facing, cross vendor support. Concern about patching html.

Amy: understand S&P doesn't apply necessarily but can't find any other kind of security assessment

Peter: does give the driver in the browser a lot more capabilities to know what's going on.. okay with that in this context

Amy: no use cases, only "customer scenarios". Even their "end-to-end user scenarios" doc doesn't seem to involve actual users. Is there an accessibility angle?

Peter: I don't think I've seen use cases for building accessibility tools in the browser. Out of scope, but would be interesting.

Amy: thinking out loud about abuse cases

Peter: all already possible. Web Driver has been around a long time. Happy to close as satisfied.

Hadley: +1

Peter: curious about their modified version of json rpc

Hadley: should be in the explainer
