Specification for loading extensions in WebDriver Classic

The spec proposed endpoints taking {extension id} in the URL.

What is the format of extension id? (if provided externally, how about URL encoding and such?)

How does the caller know the extension ID? That is unspecified.

How does the caller know the extension ID? That is unspecified.

It is the result of the load command:

5. Let result be the identifier of the loaded extension.
6. Return success with result.

What is the format of extension id? (if provided externally, how about URL encoding and such?)

I think it can be an opaque URL path compatible string, even just a monotonic increasing integer would do.

The extension identifier is the same format of what's returned in Safari. It matchesbrowser.runtime.id

Generally this looks good. I've left a couple of comments following our call earlier to clarify the purpose of this document and the relationship to WebDriver BiDi :)

Thanks Kiara!
