XHTML Role Attribute Module: Working Draft

  The HTML Working Group has released the First Public Working Draft of
  the "XHTML Role Attribute Module" to provide the ability to integrate
  the role attribute into any markup language based on XHTML
  Modularization 1.1. Developed in conjunction with the accessibility
  community and other groups, the document is the first of a series of
  XHTML modules designed to help extend the scope of XHTML-family markup
  languages into new environments. Visit the HTML home page.

XHTML 2.0: Working Draft

  The HTML Working Group has released the eighth public Working Draft of
  "XHTML™ 2.0." A general purpose markup language without presentation
  elements, XHTML 2 is designed for representing documents for a wide
  range of purposes across the Web. See the introduction for the
  differences between XHTML versions 1 and 2. Much of XHTML 2 works in
  existing browsers. The draft includes an implementation in RELAX NG
  with DTD and XML Schema implementations to follow. Visit the HTML home
  page.
