http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9189
The Web Performance Working Group has published Last Call
Working Drafts of "Performance Timeline" and "User Timing."
The former defines an interface for web applications to access
timing information related to navigation and elements. The
latter defines an interface to help web developers measure the
performance of their applications by giving them access to high
precision timestamps. Comments are welcome through 22
September. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Three CSS Drafts Published; First Draft of Conditional Rules Module
Level 3
01 September 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9188
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group published three
drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
* a First Public Working Draft of CSS Conditional Rules
Module Level 3, which describes the rendering of structured
documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in
speech, etc. This module contains the features of CSS for
conditional processing of parts of style sheets,
conditioned on capabilities of the processor or the
document the style sheet is being applied to.
* a draft of CSS Text Level 3, which defines properties for
text manipulation and specifies their processing model. It
covers line breaking, justification and alignment, white
space handling, text decoration and text transformation.
* a draft of CSS Writing Modes Module Level 3, which defines
CSS features to support for various international writing
modes, such as left-to-right (e.g. Latin or Indic),
right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew or Arabic), bidirectional (e.g.
mixed Latin and Arabic) and vertical (e.g. Asian scripts).

Report Published from Identity in the Browser Workshop; Charter in
Development
30 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9185
W3C today published the final report of the W3C Identity in the
Browser workshop, hosted by Mozilla 24-25 May in Mountain View,
California. More than 80 representatives from various
organizations participated, including major browser developers
such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla, and Netflix as well
as companies wanting a more secure identity mechanism for the
Web, such as Workshop sponsors RSA, Paypal, and Yahoo!. The
report suggests opportunities for standardization to make the
Web a more secure platform, in particular by enabling identity
to be built on top of reliable cryptography in the browser. W3C
is now developing a draft Working Group charter; contact Harry
Halpin if interested.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9183
The RDF Working Group has published the First Public Working
Draft of "RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax." The Resource
Description Framework (RDF) is a framework for representing
information in the Web. This document defines an abstract
syntax (a data model) on which RDF is based, and which serves
to link concrete syntaxes to its formal semantics. It also
includes discussion of key concepts, datatyping, character
normalization and handling of IRIs. Learn more about the
Semantic Web Activity.

(Third) W3C Web and TV Workshop

Hollywood, California
Hosted and Sponsored by Comcast
Following the success of its regional workshops in Tokyo,
Japan and Berlin, Germany, the W3C will host a third
workshop on Web and TV convergence in Hollywood, California
on 19-20 September, 2011. In the previous two workshops,
participants identified opportunities for convergence of
Web and TV infrastructure and began identifying technical
challenges. This third workshop will continue these
efforts, with a particular focus on the needs of content
creators and distributors.

W3C Workshop on Data and Services Integration
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/integration-workshop/
Bedford, MA, USA
Hosted by MITRE
Integration of heterogeneous data and services has always
been a concern for creators and managers of services. With
the emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and
services has become even stronger as the number of
available services has grown. Different services stacks now
exist from Web Services to Cloud-based services.
The goal of this Workshop is to bring together people with
different ways of looking at the issues left unsolved by
the existing stacks, to investigate the possible paths to
help bridging services built using different paradigms, and
to identify points where standardization would help
integration of services and data.
