XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Full Text Facility Test Suite Published
The XSL and XML Query Working Groups have published version 1.0 of
the XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Full Text Facility Test Suite, and are
requesting that people with implementations report results. The Full
Text Facility provides a standard way of searching by word or phrase
across multilingual documents or data represented using the XPath
and XQuery Data Model. As a result of preliminary implementation
experience, and to reflect comments received, the "Candidate
Recommendation for the Full Text Facility" has also been
republished: the new version incorporates editorial changes but also
clarifies some ambiguities that had been reported. The Working
Groups hope to move the document to Proposed Recommendation once
more test results have been submitted. The XML Query and XSL Working
Groups also published today an update of "XQuery and XPath Full Text
1.0 Use Cases." Learn more about the XML Activity.

Relationship Between Mobile Web (MWBP) and Web Content Accessibility
(WCAG) Note Published
The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education
and Outreach Working Group have published "Relationship between
Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) and Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG)" as a W3C Working Group Note. The groups encourage
people to start by reading Web Content Accessibility and Mobile Web:
Making a Web Site Accessible Both for People with Disabilities and
for Mobile Devices, which shows how design goals for accessibility
and mobile access overlap. A third document, Shared Web Experiences:
Barriers Common to Mobile Device Users and People with Disabilities,
provides examples of barriers that people (without disabilities)
face when interacting with Web content via mobile devices, and
similar barriers for people with disabilities using desktop
computers. Learn more about the Mobile Web Initiative (MWI) and the
Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Last Call: Geolocation API Specification
The Geolocation Working Group has published a Last Call Working
Draft of "Geolocation API Specification." The Geolocation API
defines a high-level interface to location information associated
only with the device hosting the implementation, such as latitude
and longitude. Common sources of location information include Global
Positioning System (GPS) and location inferred from network signals
such as IP address, RFID, WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses, and
GSM/CDMA cell IDs, as well as user input. Comments are welcome
through 10 August. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web Applications
Activity.
