W3C Invites Implementations of W3C XML Schema Definition Language 1.1
(Parts 1 and 2)

   22 July 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9160

   The XML Schema Working Group invites implementation of the
   Candidate Recommendation s "XML Schema Definition Language
   (XSD) 1.1 Part 1: Structures" and "XML Schema Definition
   Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes." The first document
   specifies the XML Schema Definition Language, which offers
   facilities for describing the structure and constraining the
   contents of XML documents, including those which exploit the
   XML Namespace facility. The schema language, which is itself
   represented in an XML vocabulary and uses namespaces,
   substantially reconstructs and considerably extends the
   capabilities found in XML document type definitions (DTDs).
   This specification depends on XML Schema Definition Language
   1.1 Part 2: Datatypes, which defines facilities for defining
   datatypes to be used in XML Schemas as well as other XML
   specifications. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language
   (XML) Activity.

Internationalization Checker Updated

   19 July 2011 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9153

   The i18n checker is a free service from W3C that provides
   information about internationalization-related aspects of your
   HTML page and advice on creating markup that supports the
   multilingual Web. This latest release uses a new user interface
   and redesigned source code. It also adds a number of new tests,
   a file upload facility, and support for HTML5. This is still a
   'pre-final' release and development continues. There are
   already plans to add further tests and features, to translate
   the user interface, to add support for XHTML5 and polyglot
   documents, to integrate with the W3C Unicorn checker, and to
   add various other features. At this stage we are particularly
   interested in receiving user feedback. Learn more about Web
   Internationalization.
