Upgrade Insecure Requests, and Mixed Content are W3C Candidate
Recommendations

   8 October 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5041>

   The Web Application Security Working Group has published
   Candidate Recommendations for two documents that help Web
   authors and users toward secure, authenticated browsing:

   <http://www.w3.org//www.w3.org/2011/webappsec/>
     * Upgrade Insecure Requests defines a mechanism which allows
       authors to instruct a user agent to upgrade a priori
       insecure resource requests to secure transport before
       fetching them.
     * Mixed Content describes how a user agent should handle
       fetching of content over unencrypted or unauthenticated
       connections in the context of an encrypted and
       authenticated document.

Selection API Draft Published

   8 October 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5039>

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Selection API." This document is a preliminary draft
   of a specification for the Selection API and selection related
   functionality. It replaces a couple of old sections of the HTML
   specification, the selection part of the old DOM Range
   specification.

Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) Draft Published

   8 October 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5045>

   The RDF Data Shapes Working Group has published a Working Draft
   of "Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL)." SHACL (Shapes
   Constraint Language) is a language for describing and
   constraining the contents of RDF graphs. SHACL groups these
   descriptions and constraints into “shapes”, which specify
   conditions that apply at a given RDF node. Shapes provide a
   high-level vocabulary to identify predicates and their
   associated cardinalities, datatypes and other constraints.
   Additional constraints can be associated with shapes using
   SPARQL and similar extension languages. These extension
   languages can also be used to define new high-level vocabulary
   terms. SHACL shapes can be used to communicate information
   about data structures associated with some process or
   interface, generate or validate data, or drive user interfaces.
   This document defines the SHACL language and its underlying
   semantics.

Call for Review: W3C DOM4 Proposed Recommendation Published

   6 October 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5035>

   The HTML Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation
   of "W3C DOM4." DOM defines a platform-neutral model for events
   and node trees. DOM4 adds Mutation Observers as a replacement
   for Mutation Events. Comments are welcome through 03 November.

Shadow DOM Draft Published

   6 October 2015
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5037>

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Shadow DOM." This specification describes a method
   of combining multiple DOM trees into one hierarchy and how
   these trees interact with each other within a document, thus
   enabling better composition of the DOM.
