I think the concern is that if we don't define it, API local ends who do implement a shim for it could end up implementing it wrongly.

My argument is that Selenium is free to mandate its behaviour and that it's in such a regard not a big problem if we don't have it in the spec.

Additionally, it would regardless be consistent across browsers in a single language binding which isn't the case now.  If Selenium really wants to be pedantic about this, it could ship a local end atom.
