This Candidate Recommendation is expected to advance to Proposed Recommendation no earlier than 31 October 2017.

Please see the Working Group's implementation report.

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 March 2017 W3C Process Document. Features at risk As this specification enters the Candidate Recommendation phase of the W3C standardization process, the working group has identified the following feature(s) as being "at risk" of being removed from the specification. The working group seeks input from implementers, developers, and the general public on whether these features should remain in the specification. If no compelling use cases are received, or if there is limited interest from implementers, these features will be removed from the specification before proceeding along the W3C Recommendation track. currencySystem (see issue 490).
