Web Services Addressing Metadata Is a Proposed Recommendation

   W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "Web Services
   Addressing 1.0 - Metadata" to Proposed Recommendation. The
   specification is used to indicate support for the "Web Services
   Addressing 1.0 mechanisms" using the "Web Services Policy 1.5
   framework" and defines how to express WS-Addressing properties in
   "WSDL." Comments are welcome through 30 August. Read about the Web
   Services Addressing Working Group and about Web services.

Patent Advisory Group Recommends W3C Stop Work on Remote Events for XML
(REX 1.0)

   A Patent Advisory Group (PAG) for the WebAPI and SVG Working Groups
   has published its report, which suggests that W3C stop work on
   "Remote Events for XML (REX) 1.0." W3C launched the PAG when France
   Telecom excluded patent claims from the W3C Royalty-Free Licensing
   Commitment. W3C continues work on a future, differently scoped
   version of REX in the Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group. W3C
   appreciates the cooperation from the patent holder, France Telecom,
   in helping the PAG reach their conclusion.

Open Mobile Web Test Suite: Call for Contributions

   The Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group is launching an Open Mobile

   Mobile Web developers can submit test cases (as described in the
