W3C Workshop Report on the Electronic Books and the Open Web Platform
04 March 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9743
[] W3C today published the report of the workshop eBooks: Great
Expectations for Web Standards, hosted by O'Reilly TOC on 11-12
February, 2013, in New York, USA, and sponsored by Pearson.
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/electronic-books/
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/electronic-books/rapportebook
W3C seeks to support the wide adoption of Web technologies in
digital publishing contexts. Consequently, there is a need for
the Web and Publishing communities to reinforce cooperation
around well defined technical issues. This Workshop was a first
step, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders to share
their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to ensure that
emerging global technology standards meet the needs of the
Digital Publishing industry. The Workshop has identified a
number of technical issues where the W3C could and should work
together in the coming years.
The Workshop participants began discussions to prioritize lists
of topics such as presentation, layout, fonts, or
accessibility. As a next step, the W3C staff will work with
stakeholders, such as IDPF and BISG, in the digital publishing
ecosystem to identify opportunities for work related to
publishing standards that can be launched at W3C.

W3C Workshop Report on Do Not Track and Beyond
04 March 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9744
W3C today published the report from the W3C Workshop on Do Not
Track and Beyond held at UC Berkeley in November 2012. We
welcomed experts from academia, industry, civil society and
regulators to discuss the status of the current work of the
Tracking Protection Working Group on Do Not Track, as well as
related and future standards initiatives.

https://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws
The Workshop reaffirmed the foundational assumption of a
co-operative approach between the different stakeholders and
identified a number of widely-shared views. We encourage those
interested in ongoing work in this area to refer to the
Tracking Protection Working Group, the Privacy Interest Group
and the Customer Experience Digital Data Community Group.

Two new Drafts: Public Identifiers for entity resolution in XHTML,
The srcset attribute
28 February 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9742
The HTML Working Group has published two First Public Working
Drafts today:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/
* Public Identifiers for entity resolution in XHTML. This
document adds an additional public identifier that should
be recognized by XHTML user agents and cause the HTML
character entity definitions to be loaded. Unlike the
identifiers already listed by the HTML5 specification, the
identifier added by this extension references the set of
definitions that is used by HTML.
* The srcset attribute. When authors adapt their sites for
high-resolution displays, they often need to be able to use
different assets representing the same image. We address
this need for adaptive, bitmapped content images by adding
a srcset attribute to the img element.

Two Drafts Published: The picture element, and Use Cases and
Requirements for Standardizing Responsive Images
26 February 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9739
The HTML Working Group has published two First Public Working
Drafts today. Both documents were developed in collaboration
with the Responsive Images Community Group.
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/
http://www.w3.org/community/respimg/
* The picture element. The picture element is an image
container whose source content is determined by one or more
CSS media queries.
* Use Cases and Requirements for Standardizing Responsive
Images. This document captures the use cases and
requirements for standardizing a solution for responsive
images. The use cases and requirements were gathered with
consultation with HTML Working Group and WHATWG
participants, RICG group members, and the general public.
