Streams API, HTML Templates Drafts Published
14 February 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9722
The Web Applications Working Group has published two First
Public Working Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
* Streams API, which provides an API for representing binary
data in web applications as a Stream object, as well as
programmatically building and reading its contents. This
specification defines objects to be used within threaded
web applications for the synchronous reading of a Stream.
This API is designed to be used in conjunction with other
APIs and elements on the web platform, notably: File,
XMLHttpRequest, postMessage, and Web Workers.
* HTML Templates, which describes a method for declaring
inert DOM subtrees in HTML and manipulating them to
instantiate document fragments with identical contents.

14 February 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9721
The HTML Working Group has published the First Public Working
Draft of "Using WAI-ARIA in HTML." This document is a
practical guide for developers on how to add accessibility
information to HTML elements using the Accessible Rich Internet
Applications specification [WAI-ARIA], which defines a way to
make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people
with disabilities. This document demonstrates how to use
WAI-ARIA in [HTML5], which especially helps with dynamic
content and advanced user interface controls developed with
Ajax, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies. Learn more
