Specification Guidelines Are a W3C Recommendation, QA Working Group
Completes Its Work

  The World Wide Web Consortium released "Specification Guidelines" as a
  W3C Recommendation. Written for editors of W3C technical reports, the
  guidelines explain how to define and specify conformance. The Quality
  Assurance (QA) Working Group has completed its work and will close. The
  QA Interest Group will continue W3C's four-year QA effort through
  mailing lists and online tools. "QA's products will be integral
  resources that ensure the work of W3C's Working Groups is of high
  quality," said Steve Bratt, W3C Chief Operating Officer. Read the press
  release and visit the QA home page.

Web Services Addressing Is a W3C Candidate Recommendation

  W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of Web Services Addressing
  "Core" and its "SOAP Binding" to Candidate Recommendation. The core
  specification defines properties that allow uniform addressing of Web
  services and messages, independent of the underlying transport. The
  binding defines the core properties' association to SOAP messages.
