WAI-ARIA to Address Access to Dynamic Web Content
The Protocols and Formats Working Group has released First Public
Working Drafts of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA). The
"Roadmap" describes accessibility of dynamic Web content built with
technologies such as AJAX and DHTML. "Roles" provides mappings for user
interface controls and navigation APIs. "States and Properties"
associates behaviors with document-level markup. Read the press release
and visit the Web Accessibility Initiative home page.

XHTML-Print Is a W3C Recommendation
The World Web Consortium released "XHTML-Print" as a W3C
Recommendation. Designed for printing from mobile and low-cost devices,
the XHTML-Print page description format satisfies print and display
needs in the absence of a printer-specific driver and where variability
in the formatting of the output is expected and is acceptable. The work
is based on XHTML-Print written by the Printer Working Group (PWG),
a program of the IEEE-ISTO. Visit the HTML home page.

Time Ontology in OWL: Working Draft
The Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group has
released the First Public Working Draft of "Time Ontology in OWL." The
OWL-Time work follows from the DARPA Agent Markup Language DAML-Time
work and brings together a number of classifications related to time.
Developed for describing the temporal content of Web pages and the
temporal properties of Web services, the vocabulary can express
datetime, relationships between intervals and between instants, and
durations of intervals. A "Time Zone Resource in OWL" is provided for
the US and the entire world. Visit the Semantic Web home page.

XProc: An XML Pipeline Language
The XML Processing Model Working Group has released the First Public
Working Draft of "XProc: An XML Pipeline Language." Used to control and
organize the flow of documents, the XProc language standardizes
interactions, inputs and outputs for transformations for the large
group of specifications such as XSLT, XML Schema, XInclude and
Canonical XML that operate on and produce XML documents. Visit the XML
home page.

Versioning XML Languages Using XML Schema 1.1
The XML Schema Working Group has released the First Public Working
Draft of "Guide to Versioning XML Languages using XML Schema 1.1." XML
Schema 1.1 introduces new features that make it easier to define XML
languages which are flexible enough to tolerate later revision in a
forward-compatible way. Written for application and schema developers,
the guide shows the new mechanisms and illustrates several techniques.
The group invites comments on this draft which is expected to become
a Working Group Note. Visit the XML home page.

Web Services Policy 1.5: Working Drafts
The Web Services Policy Working Group has released updated Working
Drafts of Web Services Policy 1.5. The Policy "Framework" defines a
model for expressing the nature of Web services in order to convey
conditions for their interaction. "Attachment" defines how to associate
policies, for example within WSDL or UDDI, with subjects to which they
apply. Read about Web services.

XMLHttpRequest Object for AJAX: Working Draft
The Web API Working Group has released an updated Working Draft of
"The XMLHttpRequest Object." The draft documents features of the
XMLHttpRequest object, the core component of AJAX. The interface allows
scripts to perform HTTP client functions, such as submitting form data
or loading data from a remote Web site. Read about the Rich Web Clients
Activity.

Selectors API: Working Draft
The Web APIs Working Group released an updated Working Draft of
"Selectors API." Methods are defined for identifying elements in a
document for the purpose of performing script or Document Object Model
(DOM) operations on them. Selectors defined in the CSS3 Selectors
specification are used to identify the elements. Visit the Web APIs
Working Group home page.

EARL 1.0 Schema: Working Draft
The Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group has released an updated
Working Draft of the "Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0
Schema." EARL is a flexible format used to exchange, combine and
compare test results including bug reports, test suite evaluations and
conformance claims. The test subjects might be Web sites, authoring
tools, user agents or other entities. See the EARL Overview. The group
welcomes feedback from Web developers and researchers. Read about the
Web Accessibility Initiative.
