Re: Notes from meeting between Chrome and Mozilla folks

I too agree with needing a way to accept a UUID as device manufactures may come up with their own device specific services and the friendly name for standard services makes sense to me.

I agree on the 2 points:
- Need a way to accept UUID per Bluetooth spec for non standard services
- Identifying standard services via their name vs full or short UUID makes sense. Let's do functionName("standard_gatt_service_name")

It makes sense to let browser automatically map human readable string to UUID internally for Bluetooth SIG assigned number(ex: Service/Characteristics),
this will make JS easier to write/read if developers want to implement standard GATT profiles.

But we still need API to accept UUID as the parameter for those vendor specific defined GATT Profiles (it contains their own Service/Characteristic UUID).
