Selenium

documentation of accessors in reference.html is confusing

 Description  « Hide
The "Selenium Accessors" section of the manual lists "storeXXX" actions as the primary commands. This is misleading, since users are probably more interested in assertions.

Also, the per-accessor document does read well in the context of "store", e.g.

storeTitle ( variableName )
        Gets the title of the current page.

It may be better to document just the accessors itself, directly, e.g.

getTitle()
        Gets the title of the current page.

and, separately, explain how assert/verify/waitFor/store commands are derived from the accessors.

I think it'd be *more* confusing to document the "getters" directly, since HTML Selenese users can't actually call them.
