Weekly digest of W3C news and trends: DRM in scope with HTML, #W3Cebooks Workshop, Jaffe’s #TOCcon keynote, #XML is 15, etc.

This is the 8-15 February 2013 edition of a “weekly digest of W3C news and  
trends" that the W3C Communications Team prepares for the W3C Membership  
and public-w3c-digest mailing list (publicly archived [1]) [sent  
separately]. This digest aggregates information about W3C from online  
media, a snapshot of how W3C and its work is perceived in online media.
