@jgraham looks like the brokeness is not only in the BiDi spec but also in classic. I wonder why respec doesn't notice those broken links. Do you have an idea?

Because respec just believes the link definitions its given, it doesn't actually crawl the links.

I think some of this is w3c/webdriver#1608 having never got merged, so things like "http session" aren't defined. Some of it just looks like errors though.
