XSLT 2.0, XML Query and XPath 2.0 Are Proposed Recommendations
W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of XML Query 1.0, XSLT 2.0,
XPath 2.0 and supporting documents to Proposed Recommendations. XSLT
transforms documents into different markup or formats. Important for
databases, search engines and object repositories, XML Query can
perform searches, queries and joins over collections of documents. Both
XSLT 2 and XQuery use XPath expressions and operate on XPath Data Model
instances. Today's drafts incorporate changes since Candidate
Recommendation and move the xdt:* types to the XML Schema xs namespace,
a change made in conjunction with the XML Schema Working Group.
Comments are welcome through 31 December.
Visit the XML home page.

Last Call: Compound Document Framework and WICD Profiles
The Compound Document Formats Working Group has released four Last Call
Working Drafts: "Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0," "WICD
Core 1.0," "WICD Full 1.0," and "WICD Mobile 1.0." Comments are welcome
through 19 December. The Web Integration Compound Document (WICD,
pronounced "wicked") is a device independent Compound Document profile
based on XHTML, CSS and SVG. The drafts describe behavior when single
documents contain multiple formats. Read more about Rich Web Clients.

Last Call: XML Schema Patterns for Databinding
The XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Working Group has released a
Last Call Working Draft of "Basic XML Schema Patterns for Databinding
Version 1.0" and the First Public Working Draft of "Advanced Patterns."
The patterns can describe XML 1.0 representations of commonly used data
structures independent of any particular programming language, database
or modelling environment. The basic set is known to be interoperable
between state of the art databinding implementations, while the
advanced patterns are in common use but are known to cause issues.
Comments on Last Call are welcome through 12 January. Read about Web
services.
