resource, and a mechanism for transmitting the policy from a
server to a client where the policy is enforced. Learn more

CSS Writing Modes Module Level 3, CSS Masking Drafts Published
15 November 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9632
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Writing Modes Module Level 3." CSS
Writing Modes Level 3 defines CSS support for various
international writing modes, such as left-to-right (e.g. Latin
or Indic), right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew or Arabic), bidirectional
(e.g. mixed Latin and Arabic) and vertical (e.g. Asian
scripts).

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group and the SVG
Working Group have published the First Public Working Draft of
"CSS Masking." CSS Masking provides two means for partially or
fully hiding portions of visual elements: masking and clipping.
Masking describes how to use another graphical element or image
as a luminance or alpha mask. Typically, rendering an element
via CSS or SVG can conceptually described as if the element,
including its children, are drawn into a buffer and then that
buffer is composited into the element's parent. Luminance and
alpha masks influence the transparency of this buffer before
the compositing stage. Clipping describes the visible region of
visual elements. The region can be described by using certain
SVG graphics elements or basic shapes. Anything outside of this
region is not rendered.

Do Not Track and Beyond

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?

Today’s eBook market is dynamic, fast-changing and strong.
eBooks compete with printed versions, and there is a wide
choice of hardware and software available for eBook

technical challenges in this market, some of which could be
reduced or removed by standardization.
