Description David Burns :automatedtester 2015-03-03 16:45:10 UTC 
in http://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html#switchtowindow we only mention "DOMString handle". Should this only handle the UUID as the spec says or should we also handle names as the open source project does?
Comment 1 David Burns :automatedtester 2015-03-03 16:48:47 UTC 
I should also note that the open source project uses the parameter name not handle, which would be preferable?
Comment 2 Andreas Tolfsen 2015-03-03 16:53:05 UTC 
I thought we had made a decision about this at the meeting in London, that switchToWindow would take handle as the only valid argument: http://www.w3.org/2014/07/08-testing-minutes.html#item12
Comment 3 David Burns :automatedtester 2015-03-03 20:38:05 UTC 
Since we have made a decision on this I am closing the bug and will update some tests in the OSS project
