Weekly digest of W3C news and trends: MPAA joined W3C, Vimeo rebuilds HTML5-Based Video Player, Vocabularies at W3C, TAG election, etc.

This is the 3-10 January 2014 edition of a “weekly digest of W3C news and

mailing list (publicly archived [1]) [sent separately]. This digest  
aggregates information about W3C from online media, a snapshot of how W3C  
and its work is perceived in online media.
