Input Method Editor API Draft Published
04 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9776
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Input Method Editor API." This specification defines
an “IME API” that provides Web applications with scripted
access to an IME (input-method editor) associated with a
hosting user agent. This IME API includes: an
InputMethodContext interface, which provides methods to
retrieve detailed data from an in-progress IME composition, a
Composition dictionary, which represents read-only attributes
about the current composition, such as the actual text and its
style. This API is designed to be used in conjunction with DOM
events. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Conditional Rules Module Level 3,
and CSS Values and Units Module Level 3
04 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9774
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of two Candidate Recommendations:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
* CSS Conditional Rules Module Level 3. This module contains
the features of CSS for conditional processing of parts of
style sheets, conditioned on capabilities of the processor
or the document the style sheet is being applied to. It
includes and extends the functionality of CSS level 2],
which builds on CSS level 1. The main extensions compared
to level 2 are allowing nesting of certain at-rules inside
‘@media’, and the addition of the ‘@supports’ rule for
conditional processing.
* CSS Values and Units Module Level 3. This CSS3 module
describes the common values and units that CSS properties
accept and the syntax used for describing them in CSS
property definitions. This is an update that clarifies that
the viewport size used by the 'vw' and 'vh' units includes
the size of any scrollbars only when the scrollbars are
“automatic” (CSS rule 'overflow: auto'), and that the
corresponding definition of viewport size for paged media
is *not* part of this module.

CSS Grid Layout Draft Published
02 April 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9773
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Grid Layout." This CSS module defines a
two-dimensional grid-based layout system, optimized for user
interface design. In the grid layout model, the children of a
grid container can be positioned into arbitrary slots in a
flexible or fixed predefined layout grid. Learn more about the
Style Activity.
