This document was published by the Second Screen Presentation Working Group as a Working Draft. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please send them to public-secondscreen@w3.org (subscribe, archives). All comments are welcome.

Since publication as Working Draft on 13 October 2015, the Working Group has refined the interfaces and significantly improved all procedures. Security and privacy considerations have been completed based on feedback and interactions with other W3C groups. The Working Group intends to publish a Candidate Recommentation soon and seeks wide review of this document. Horizontal reviews and feedback from early experimentations and developers willing to use this specification are encouraged.

Some open issues remain, including on ways to pass the language settings from the controller to the presentation and on whether the messaging channel should expose a congestion control mechanism; please check the group's issue tracker on GitHub for a complete list of open issues.

Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
