Last Call: W3C Invites Broad Review of HTML5 and Five Related
Specifications
25 May 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9105
[] W3C today called for broad review of HTML5 and five related
specifications published by the W3C HTML Working Group. HTML5
offers powerful tools for creating Web-based applications that
will run on any device. By issuing a Last Call announcement,
the HTML Working Group encourages people to comment on the
extent to which they believe that technical requirements have
been met and significant dependencies with groups inside and
outside W3C have been satisfied. Comments are welcome through 3
August. Each document includes instructions for providing
feedback in the status section of the document:

* HTML5
* HTML+RDFa 1.1
* HTML Microdata
* HTML Canvas 2D Context
* Polyglot Markup: HTML-Compatible XHTML Documents
* HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives
The HTML Working Group published three other drafts today as
well: "HTML: The Markup Language Reference," "HTML5 diffs from
HTML4," and "HTML to Platform Accessibility APIs
Implementation Guide."

Workshop Report: Web Tracking and User Privacy
25 May 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9106
W3C today published the report from the W3C Workshop on Web
Tracking and User Privacy held at Princeton University in
April. The large and diverse group of participants had an
engaging discussion yielding consensus on the importance,
time-sensitivity and complexity of the issue and revealing
promising areas for standards work. We encourage interested
parties to continue discussion on the public mailing list,
including on the possibility of W3C forming new groups in this
area.

First Draft of Resource Timing Published
24 May 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9104
The Web Performance Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "Resource Timing." This specification
defines an interface for web applications to access timing
information related to HTML elements. User latency is an
important quality benchmark for Web Applications. While
JavaScript-based mechanisms can provide comprehensive
instrumentation for user latency measurements within an
application, in many cases, they are unable to provide a
complete end-to-end latency picture. While the Navigation
Timing specification address part of the problem by providing
timing information associated with a navigation, this document
introduces the ResourceTiming interface to allow Javascript
mechanisms to collect complete timing information related to
resources on a document. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9103
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Lists and Counters Module Level 3." This
draft contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to list
styling. The main extensions compared to CSS Level 2 are a
pseudo-element representing the list marker, a new hanging
value for list-style-position, and a method for authors to
define their own list-styles. Learn more about the Style
Activity.

Federated Social Web Europe
http://d-cent.org/fsw2011/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung
Social networking has transformed the Web. However, most
Social Web applications today limit relationships to those
with accounts in the same system. As with many other
communications tools (telephone, email, Web) people will
ultimately prefer Social Web applications without such
barriers, where anyone can communicate seamlessly with
anyone else, whatever application they are using. W3C will
be exploring how to achieve "One Social Web" at Federated
Social Web Europe.
