Status of This Document
--
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/. 

This document was published by the Second Screen 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. 
This document builds on the group's experience on presenting web content on external presentation-type displays, and re-uses patterns and design considerations from the Presentation API specification whenever appropriate.

Although this document is still a work in progress and is subject to change, the Working Group believes that the API surface is stable. Most of the remaining issues listed on the issue tracker are considered minor at this stage, except issue #41 which discusses the set of media playback features that remote playback devices must support and the impact of remote playback on the observable behavior from the controlling page's perspective. The Working Group welcomes feedback on that issue. For other issues or concerns, it is possible to file a bug or send an email to the mailing list. For small editorial changes like typos, sending a pull request is appreciated.

The Working Group invites everyone to review this document, and will work with relevant groups at W3C to conduct horizontal reviews on accessibility, internationalization, privacy, security and technical architecture principles.

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. 

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy. 

This document is governed by the 1 September 2015 W3C Process Document.

Thanks,
