Dr. Jeffrey Jaffe Named W3C CEO
08 March 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8738
[] W3C today named Dr. Jeffrey Jaffe its new Chief Executive
Officer. "Web technologies continue to be the vehicle for every
industry to incorporate the rapid pace of change into their way
of doing business," said Dr. Jaffe. "I'm excited to join W3C at
this time of increased innovation, since W3C is the place where
the industry comes together to set standards for the Web in an
open and collaborative fashion." As W3C CEO, Dr. Jaffe will
work with Director Tim Berners-Lee, staff, Membership, and the
public to evolve and communicate W3C's organizational vision.
The CEO is responsible for W3C's global operations, for
maintaining the interests of all of the W3C’s stakeholders, and
for sustaining a culture of cooperation and transparency, so
that W3C continues to be the leading forum for the technical
development and stewardship of the Web. Read the CEO Blog and
learn more in the press release.

Seven Documents Related to HTML Published
05 March 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8735
W3C published today seven documents related to HTML:
* HTML 5 and HTML5 differences from HTML4. In addition, some
content that was part of the HTML 5 specification has been
published in two new standalone drafts: HTML Canvas 2D
Context and HTML Microdata.
* HTML: The Markup Language, a first draft. This document
describes the HTML markup language and provides details
necessary for producers of HTML content to create documents
that conform to the language. By design, it does not define
related APIs, nor attempt to specify how consumers of HTML
content are meant to process documents, nor attempt to be a
tutorial or "how to" authoring guide.
* HTML+RDFa, which defines rules and guidelines for adapting
the RDF in XHTML: Syntax and Processing (RDFa)
specification for use in the HTML5 and XHTML5 members of
the HTML family.
* Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML, a first draft.
Authoring a web app that needs to support both
right-to-left and left-to-right interfaces, or to take as
input and display both left-to-right and right-to-left
data, usually presents a number of challenges that make it
an especially laborious and bug-prone task. Some of these
are due to browser bugs, but some can be traced to a gap in
the specification of the bidirectional aspects of a given
HTML feature. And some of these challenges could be greatly
simplified by adding a few strategically placed new HTML
features. This document proposes fixes for some of the most
repetitive pain points.
All documents were published by the HTML Working Group except
the last one, published by the Internationalization Core
Working Group.

Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) 3.0 Draft Published
05 March 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8734
The Voice Browser Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) 3.0." This
document specifies VoiceXML 3.0, a modular XML language for
creating interactive media dialogs that feature synthesized
speech, recognition of spoken and DTMF key input, telephony,
mixed initiative conversations, and recording and presentation
of a variety of media formats including digitized audio, and
digitized video. See the "diff-marked version" of changes since
the previous draft, and learn more about the Voice Browser
Activity.

Security Drafts Update: XML Signature Syntax and Processing 2.0;
Canonical XML Version 2.0
05 March 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8733
The XML Security Working Group has published two Working
Drafts: "XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 2.0" and
"Canonical XML Version 2.0." The first specifies XML syntax
and processing rules for creating and representing digital
signatures. XML Signatures can be applied to any digital
content (data object), including XML. The second is a major
rewrite of Canonical XML Version 1.1 to address issues around
performance, streaming, hardware implementation, robustness,
minimizing attack surface, determining what is signed and more.
It also incorporates an update to Exclusive Canonicalization,
effectively a 2.0 version, as well. Learn more about the
Security Activity.
