Description Andreas Tolfsen 2014-01-29 14:14:12 UTC 
Section 4.1.1 mentions the capability "platformName" whilst section 4.1.3 uses "platform".  This incosistency should be clarified.
Comment 1 David Burns :automatedtester 2014-02-04 00:16:34 UTC 
aligned with the Open source project capabilities e.g. https://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/javascript/firefox-driver/js/nsCommandProcessor.js#733

Comment 2 Andreas Tolfsen 2014-02-04 11:58:42 UTC 
platform is inconsistent with browserName though.
Comment 3 David Burns :automatedtester 2014-02-04 15:25:29 UTC 
you're right. I was trying to keep backwards compability breakages to the OSS project to a minimum which on closer inspection is the wrong thing to do since there is a lot of inconsitencies there.
