Two Drafts Published by the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) WG
17 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4990>
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
two Working Drafts:
<http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members>
* CSS Grid Layout Module Level 1: This CSS module defines a
two-dimensional grid-based layout system, optimized for
user interface design. In the grid layout model, the
children of a grid container can be positioned into
arbitrary slots in a flexible or fixed predefined layout
grid.
* CSS Inline Layout Module Level 3: The CSS formatting model
provides for a flow of elements and text inside of a
container to be wrapped into lines. The formatting of
elements and text within a line, its positioning in the
inline progression direction, and the breaking of lines are
described in CSS3TEXT. This module describes the
positioning in the block progression direction both of
elements and text within lines and of the lines themselves.
This positioning is often relative to a baseline. It also
describes special features for formatting of first lines
and drop caps. It extends on the model in CSS2.
Cooperative Scheduling of Background Tasks Draft Published
17 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4993>
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Cooperative Scheduling of Background Tasks." This document
defines an API that web page authors can use to cooperatively
schedule background tasks such that they do not introduce
delays to other high priority tasks that share the same event
loop, e.g. input processing, animations, and frame compositing.
The user agent is in a better position to determine when
background tasks can be run without introducing
user-perceptible delays or jank in animations and input
response, based on its knowledge of currently scheduled tasks,
vsync deadlines, user-interaction and so on. Using this API
should therefore result in more appropriate scheduling of
background tasks during times when the browser would otherwise
be idle.

First Public Working Draft: CSS Page Floats
15 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4980>
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Page Floats." This document describes
floats that move to the top or bottom of content passages. This
feature has traditionally been used in print publications in
which figures and photos are moved to the top or bottom of
columns or pages, along with their captions. This draft
describes how to achieve this effect for floats within pages,
columns, regions and elements.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2 Draft Published
15 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4975>
The SVG Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2." This specification defines
the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
Version 2. SVG is a language based on XML for describing
two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG
content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions,
and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or
embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG
also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create
interactive documents, and animations can be performed using
declarative animation features or by using script.

User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) 2.0 Working Drafts Updated
15 September 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4977>
The User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (UAWG)
has published updated Working Drafts of "User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) 2.0" and "UAAG 2.0 Reference:
Explanations, Examples, and Resources for User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines 2.0." Please, note the change in
Recommendation track status to Working Group Note. UAAG defines
how browsers, browser extensions, media players, readers, and
other “user agents” should support accessibility for people
with disabilities and work with assistive technologies. It is
introduced in the UAAG Overview. Read about the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
