Shadow DOM Draft Published
16 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9602
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Shadow DOM." This specification describes a method
of establishing and maintaining functional boundaries between
DOM subtrees and how these subtrees interact with each other
within a document tree, thus enabling better functional
encapsulation within DOM. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

Patent Advisory Group Recommends Continuing Work on XML Security
Specifications
15 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9601
The XML Security Patent Advisory Group (PAG) has published a
report recommending that W3C continue work on the "XML
Encryption Syntax and Processing Version 1.1" without changes.
The PAG did, however, recommend changes to the Candidate
Recommendations of "XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version
1.1" and "XML Signature 2.0" enabling implementations to use
alternative algorithms that are still interoperable. W3C
launches a PAG to resolve issues in the event a patent has been
disclosed that may be essential, but is not available under the
W3C Royalty-Free licensing terms. See the original announcement
of the PAG.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Approved as ISO/IEC
International Standard
15 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9590
Today W3C and JTC 1, a joint technical committee of ISO and
IEC, announced formal approval of Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as an ISO/IEC International Standard,
ISO/IEC 40500. "This important accessibility standard, which is
already widely deployed internationally, can now benefit from
additional formal recognition from ISO/IEC national bodies,"
noted Jeff Jaffe, W3C CEO. "Such recognition is expected to
increase internationally harmonized uptake of WCAG 2.0 by
governments, business, and the broader Web community."
http://www.w3.org/
ISO/IEC 40500 is exactly the same as the original "WCAG 2.0
Standard" from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
Supporting resources that provide practical advice for meeting
ISO/IEC 40500 / WCAG 2.0 are freely available from the WCAG
Overview. Read the full press release, learn more about W3C's
PAS Submitter status in the W3C PAS FAQ, and comment on the
blog post.

Implementing ATAG 2.0 Working Draft Published
11 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9595
The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has
published an updated Working Draft of "Implementing ATAG 2.0: A
guide to understanding and implementing Authoring Tool
Accessibility Guidelines 2.0." Implementing ATAG 2.0 is a
planned Note to support ATAG 2.0. ATAG defines how authoring
tools should help developers produce accessible web content
that conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
2.0. It also defines how to make authoring tools accessible so
that people with disabilities can use them. Read about the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Call for Review: WOFF File Format 1.0 Proposed Recommendation
Published
11 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9594
The WebFonts Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "WOFF File Format 1.0." This document
specifies the WOFF font packaging format. This format was
designed to provide lightweight, easy-to-implement compression
of font data, suitable for use with CSS @font-face rules. Any
properly licensed TrueType/OpenType/Open Font Format file can
be packaged in WOFF format for Web use. User agents decode the
WOFF file to restore the font data such that it will display
identically to the input font. Comments are welcome through 08
November. Learn more about the Fonts Activity.

Microdata to RDF Note Published
09 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9593
The Semantic Web Interest Group has published a Group Note of
"Microdata to RDF." HTML microdata is an extension to HTML
used to embed machine-readable data into HTML documents.
Whereas the microdata specification describes a means of
markup, the output format is JSON. This specification describes
processing rules that may be used to extract RDF from an HTML
document containing microdata. Learn more about the Semantic
Web Activity.

CSS Counter Styles Level 3 Draft Published
09 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9592
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
the First Public Working Draft of "CSS Counter Styles Level 3"
. This module introduces the ‘@counter-style’ rule, which
allows authors to define their own custom counter styles for
use with CSS list-marker and generated-content counters. It
also predefines a set of common counter styles, including the
ones present in CSS2 and CSS2.1. CSS is a language for
describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML
and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. Learn more about
the Style Activity.

Two Documents published by the XML Core Working Group
09 October 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9591
The XML Core Working Group has published two Documents today:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Core/
* A First Public Working Draft of XML Inclusions (XInclude)
Version 1.1.This document specifies a processing model and
syntax for general purpose inclusion. Inclusion is
accomplished by merging a number of XML information sets
into a single composite infoset. Specification of the XML
documents (infosets) to be merged and control over the
merging process is expressed in XML-friendly syntax
(elements, attributes, URI references).
* A Group Note of Associating Schemas with XML documents 1.0
(Third Edition). This document allows schemas using any
schema definition language to be associated with an XML
document by including one or more processing instructions
with a target of xml-model in the document's prolog.
Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

W3C Workshop on Web Performance
http://www.w3.org/2012/11/performance-workshop/
Mountain View, California
Google
There is a an industry-wide momentum towards adopting HTML5
and its series of companion specifications to deploy
applications based on the Open Web Platform. Some of those
applications are facing however challenges with regards to
their performances. While Web browsers are improving their
implementations on an ongoing basis, not all of those
performance issues are due to the speed of the
implementations. Participants will look at a broad range of
performance issues and how to address them.
* 2012-11-14 (14 NOV) – 2012-11-15 (15 NOV)
Shift into High Gear on the Web: W3C Workshop on Web and
Automotive
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/
Rome, Italy
Hosted by Intel and Sponsored by Webinos
W3C’s Open Web Platform (OWP) is driving this and other
industry transformations. The promise of the early
information superhighway is being fulfilled. Whether
tethering a driver’s smartphone or tablet to work with a
car--or embedding technology into the car itself--there’s
no need to reinvent the wheel. The Web can take you there.
Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to
share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to
ensure that emerging global technology standards meet the
needs of the Web and Automotive industries.
* 2012-11-26 (26 NOV) – 2012-11-27 (27 NOV)
Do Not Track and Beyond
http://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws/
Berkeley, California
Hosted by UC Berkeley and TRUST Science and Technology
Center
This workshop serves as a forum for the W3C membership and
the public to discuss the Consortium's next steps in the
area of tracking protection and Web privacy. What have we
learned from Do Not Track standardization and real-world
implementations? Furthermore, undoubtedly support for
privacy on the Web platform cannot end with Do Not Track:
what should we look at next and beyond DNT?
* 2013-03-12 (12 MAR) – 2013-03-13 (13 MAR)
Making the Multilingual Web Work
http://www.multilingualweb.eu/en/documents/rome-workshop/ro
me-cfp
Rome, Italy
Hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations (FAO).
The MultilingualWeb community develops and promotes best
practices and standards related to all aspects of creating,
localizing, and deploying the Web across boundaries of
language. It aims to raise the visibility of existing best
practices and standards for dealing with language on the
Internet and on identifying and resolving gaps that keep
the Internet from living up to its global potential.
