Description Jim Evans 2014-07-24 20:05:33 UTC 
Section 9.1 documents the Location interface, which is used in the findElement and findElements commands. The interface is documented as follows:

interface Locator {
    readonly    attribute DOMString strategy;
    readonly    attribute DOMString value;
};

At least 6 current or under-development implementations use the attribute name "using" instead of "strategy". We should change the spec so that existing implementations already comply without having to change.
