XInclude 1.0 Second Edition Is a W3C Recommendation
The World Web Consortium released "XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version
1.0 Second Edition" as a Recommendation. Produced as a convenience to
readers, the second edition is intended to correct all known errata in
the 2004 XInclude 1.0 Recommendation. XInclude is a generic mechanism
for merging XML documents (information sets) using existing XML
constructs — elements, attributes and URI references. Visit the XML
home page.

Timed Text Distribution Profile (DFXP) Is a Candidate Recommendation
W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "Timed Text (TT)
Authoring Format 1.0 - Distribution Format Exchange Profile (DFXP)" to
Candidate Recommendation. The format enables authors and authoring
systems to interchange style, layout and timing associated with text.
DFXP helps to transform and distribute subtitles and captions to legacy
systems. Comments are welcome through 16 February 2007. W3C encourages
developers to implement the specification and share their experience
with the Synchronized Multimedia Working Group.

Last Call: Web Services Policy 1.5
The Web Services Policy Working Group has released Last Call Working
Drafts of Web Services Policy 1.5. Comments are welcome through
12 January. 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. Changes
in these drafts include ignorable policy assertions, an Internet media
type, and a request for feedback on adding versioning guidance. Read
about Web services.

The HTML Working Group has released an updated Working Draft of
"XHTML Role Attribute Module." The XHTML Role Attribute defined in

machine-extractable semantic information about the purpose of an
element. Use cases include accessibility, device adaptation,
server-side processing, and complex data description. Visit the HTML
home page.

XProc: An XML Pipeline Language
The XML Processing Model Working Group has released an updated 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.

Note: Rich Web Application Backplane
The Hypertext Coordination Group has released "Rich Web Application
Backplane" as a Coordination Group Note describing a common
infrastructure for declarative and imperative Web programming
languages. The common building blocks for Web applications such as
submission, data models, model-view binding and behavior, and Web
components may thus be used for multiple markup formats. Read about
the Hypertext Coordination Group.

P3P 1.1 Working Group Note
The P3P Specification Working Group has published "The Platform for
Privacy Preferences 1.1 (P3P1.1) Specification" as a W3C Working Group
Note. P3P enables Web sites to express their privacy practices in a
standard format that can be retrieved automatically and interpreted
easily by user agents. This release incorporates resolutions to Last
Call review comments. Although W3C does not have plans at this time to
advance P3P 1.1 to Recommendation, we anticipate more work in the area
of Web privacy and invite the P3P community to continue discussions
about P3P in the forums listed on the the P3P home page.
