Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2007-07-30 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20070730 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- Open Mobile Web Test Suite: Call for Contributions The Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group is launching an Open Mobile Web Test Suite built by the community for the community to describe support for technologies in mobile Web browsers available today. Mobile Web developers can submit test cases (as described in the submissions guidelines) illustrating authoring practices. Submissions will contribute to a better understanding of the current limitations of user agents, which helps pave the way to better mobile Web browsers tomorrow. Read the Call for Contributions and about the Mobile Web Initiative. http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/Tests/ http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/Tests/Open/submit http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/Tests/Open/submission http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-mwts/2007Jul/0020 http://www.w3.org/Mobile/ ElementTraversal for DOM Navigation: Working Draft The Web API Working Group released the First Public Working Draft of "ElementTraversal Specification." The ElementTraversal interface defines four properties that scripts can use to navigate DOM Elements and also provides the property childElementCount for preprocessing. The specification was originally part of "SVG Tiny 1.2."

DIAL describes data, styling, layout, and interaction independently, making Web content adaptable for a wide variety of platforms including the thousands of mobile devices in use and devices to come.

The report describes multimedia metadata formats and relevant vocabularies for developers of Semantic Web applications. This publication is part of the W3C experimental Incubator Activity that develops new, potentially foundational technologies and Web-based applications in a rapid time frame. http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/ http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/mmsem/XGR-vocabularies/ http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ XForms 1.0 Third Edition Is a Proposed Edited Recommendation The Forms Working Group published a Proposed Edited Recommendation for "XForms 1.0 Third Edition." The document responds to implementor feedback, brings the XForms 1.0 Recommendation up to date with second edition errata and reflects clarifications already implemented in XForms processors. Comments are welcome through 31 August. XForms separates presentation and content, minimizes the need for scripting and round-trips to the server, and offers device independence.

Implementation feedback is welcome. DISelect supports the creation of Web sites that can be used from diverse devices. Based on the evaluation and conditional processing of XML information sets, DISelect is used for Web content selection and filtering. The XPath functions are used to access the > Delivery Context associated with a request for content.

An analysis of the expected performance characteristics of a potential Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) encoding format, the draft covers the "compactness," "processing efficiency" and "roundtrip support" properties and outlines plans for future updates.
