[5. Sessions] Question regarding timeouts

In the current spec[1] it says, "A session has an associated session implicit wait timeout that specifies a time to wait for the implicit element location strategy when locating elements using find element and find elements. Unless stated otherwise it is zero milliseconds."

What is not clear to me is whether it is expected that we do one pass over the document, and if the element is not found, we stop. Or if we continue to make passes over the document until the timeout is reached (or an element is found). My expectation is that we continue to make passes over the document, but I want to make sure.

Thanks!
