Description

In chapter 6. Protocol, section 6.6 Errors:

The target for mouse interaction is not in the browser’s viewport and cannot be brought into that viewport.

I can make a PR for this, but should it be "target for the wheel or pointer interaction" or just "target for the interaction"?

Research direction

Review chapter 6, section 6.6 of the WebDriver specification and the surrounding interaction terminology. Resolve whether the error text should explicitly mention wheel interactions, then update the quoted wording consistently in the specification; done means the error description accurately covers the affected interaction types.
