           Summary: [WebDriver Spec]: Timeout persistence is undefined

Current Selenium servers seem to reset the "implicit" timeout (and maybe
others) every time a new page load occurs within a session. This behaviour is
counter-intuitive; the specification doesn’t currently define whether/how
timeouts should persist.

My preference would be for timeouts to be global to the entire session, not
reset on a page load, but this seems to go against how servers actually work
today.
