            Bug ID: 25694
           Summary: 16.2 section isn't needed as it's possible to take
                    screenshot of "html"/"body"
           Product: Browser Test/Tools WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

16.1 section provides a way to take screenshot of any WebElement, not just
current window. Thus a user can take screenshot of "body", "html" or some other
element with fairly large client rectangle (much more than
innerWidth/innerHeight). So the same principles that should be applied for
taking screenshot of window should be also applied to taking screenshot of
WebElement. So the relevant info about infinite scrolling, nested frames, etc.
should be moved to 16.3 section and 16.2 section can be removed.

Also spec tells:
> Implementations of the remote end should capture the entire Document, even if this would require a user to scroll the browser window

However, it's not clear from 16 section how entire document/WebElement can be
captured if parallax scrolling is used by the website. I mean site like e.g.:
http://islreview.com/

Also I think that when takeScreenshot is applied to element not currently in
the view, then remote end MUST scroll element into view to get a better
screenshot (it would be helpful if parallax scrolling is used by the website so
it would be good to do for all WebElements).
