Challenges for Future Web Bring Experts Together at W3C Global Plenary

   All this week, the World Wide Web Consortium holds its annual
   Technical Plenary week near its European host site in France. More
   than 350 software engineers, developers, and other experts in a wide
   range of technologies such as HTML, XML, CSS, Mobile Web, Semantic
   Web, and Video in the Web, come together to address a variety of
   challenges in the development of Web standards. Tim Berners-Lee, W3C
   Director and inventor of the Web, will open the 22 October plenary
   session with a keynote and discussion on the technical direction of
   W3C for the next several years and where Web applications,
   documents, and data come together. In the keynote, Berners-Lee will
   also share thoughts on the future of HTML in the browser and how
   HTML and XML communities can learn from each other. Slides and
   minutes from the plenary day will be publicly available. Read the
   press release for more information, including information for media
   wishing to cover the event.
