Details regarding the specifications for privacy review are set out below:

(a) CSS Conditional 3

Spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-conditional-3/


This module contains the features of CSS for conditional processing of parts of style sheets, conditioned on capabilities of the processor or the document to which the style sheet is being applied.

The main extensions compared to CSS level 2 are allowing nesting of certain at-rules inside@media (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-conditional-3/#at-ruledef-media), and the addition of the@supports (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-conditional-3/#at-ruledef-supports) rule for conditional processing.

The specification has been at CR since 2013:

* https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-conditional/

* https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2013JanMar/0130.html

but due to the long interval since that time, CSS WG is restarting wide review before publishing a Candidate Recommendation Snapshot.

The WG advises that the specification is widely implemented. They expect to meet the CR exit requirements in the next few months.

(b) Web Authentication Level 2

Spec: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/


This is an incremental update to WebAuthn Level 1 - https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/REC-webauthn-1-20190304/


WG reported substantive changes since Rec:

* Added new method to allow Discoverable/Resident Credentials Preferred
* New methods added for Attestation Objects
* Added Enterprise Attestation, Apple Attestation
* Added Large Blob storage and credential properties
* Modified cross-origin iFrame usage (only 'get' command)
* Removed unused extensions (they remain in Level 1); also simple tx auth, generic tx auth, UVI, biometrics.
* Clarified some inputs and outputs in extensions
* Fixed some serialization issues with JSON parser

Privacy Considerations: https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#sctn-privacy-considerations


(c) Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.2

Specification: https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/2020-09_CR/index.html


The specification provides a framework to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content and applications.

Changes since ARIA 1.1 : https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/2020-09_CR/index.html#substantive-changes-since-the-last-public-working-draft


The WG reports that changes mostly consist of the addition of roles to get closer to parity with HTML to allow the creation of accessible Web components.

This specification is in the “almost CR” stage of development, so the WG expects it to transition, in more or less its current form, after completing horizontal review.

The WG reports that they "do not have a privacy and security section as there was no content to add".

(d) CSS Sizing Level 3

Specification: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-sizing-3/


The CSS module defines the various sizing properties and concepts used throughout CSS.

New features since CSS2 are summarized in https://www.w3.org/TR/css-sizing-3/#changes-3

(e) CSS Box Model Module 3

CSS Box Model Module 3

Specification: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-box-3/


The specification describes the margin and padding properties, which create spacing in and around a CSS box, and defines a bunch of terminology used throughout the CSS layout specs.

Changes since CSS2 are summarized in: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-box-3/#changes

and basically consist of
* updating the prose to account for vertical writing modes
* defining a shared list of box-edge keywords for use in other properties
There are no new features.

The WG advises that it is really just a redrafting of a very basic piece of CSS2.
