Weekly digest of W3C news and trends: CSS is 17, W3C Spain office 10-year anniversary, TimBL on mass surveillance, etc.

This is the 13-20 December 2013 edition of a “weekly digest of W3C news  
and trends" --the last of the year, 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.
