    <thetext>It is unspecified whether the &apos;remote end&apos; MUST/SHOULD/MAY/MUST NOT/... accept commands from a remote &apos;local end&apos;.

Note: I believe currently IEDriver does not accept commands from remote clients. There is not even a command line switch to enable that.

&apos;Remote end&apos; is defined here:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webdriver/raw-file/default/webdriver-spec.html#naming-the-two-sides-of-the-api

It says &quot;The implementation of the remote end may be on a machine remote from the user of the local end.&quot; but that does not require anyone do anything and doesn&apos;t even explicitly inform that &apos;remote end *may* be on the *same* machine where the local end is&apos; (which a formalist-ass like myself may want to see).</thetext>

    <thetext>The F2F decided to make the text non-normative.  We should not be using normative language in the appendix.</thetext>
