Three CSS Drafts Published
20 June 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9868
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Custom Properties for Cascading
Variables Module Level 1." This module introduces cascading
variables as a new primitive value type that is accepted by all
CSS properties, and custom properties for defining them.
Comments are welcome through 18 July.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css-variables-1-20130620/
The group also published a First Public Working Draft of "CSS
Shapes Module Level 1." CSS Shapes control the geometric
shapes used for wrapping inline flow content outside an
element. For Level 1, CSS Shapes can be applied to floats. A
circle shape on a float will cause inline content to wrap
around the circle shape instead of the float's bounding box.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css-shapes-1-20130620/
In addition, the group updated "CSS Masking Level 1." CSS
Masking provides two means for partially or fully hiding
portions of visual elements: masking and clipping.

18 June 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9866
The SVG Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2." This specification defines
the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
Version 2, a language for describing two-dimensional vector and
mixed vector/raster graphics. Changes in this working draft
include introduction of a new "‘hatch’" element as a refinement
on patterns, improved accessibility and integration with HTML
through the addition of the "‘tabindex’" attribute and changes
to the "‘foreignObject’" element, addition of a new
'auto-start-reverse' attribute value for markers, clarification
of CSS transforms on SVG content, and various updates to bring
SVG closer in line with CSS best practices. See the "full list
of modifications" in the SVG changes appendix. Learn more about
the Graphics Activity.

Get Smart: Smart Homes, Cars, Devices and the Web -
Workshop on Rich Multimodal Application Development
http://www.w3.org/2013/07/mmi/
New York Metropolitan Area, US
Hosted by Openstream
HTML5 has paved the way for development of rich web
applications and has been widely adopted by application
developers. Ease of user-interaction (user experience) with
applications has become a prime focus world-wide, thanks to
the proliferation of new devices and platforms including
mobile phones, tablet devices, eBook readers, and gaming
platforms. In addition, traditional platforms such as TV's,
sudio systems, and automobiles are rapidly becoming capable
of much more intelligent interaction than in the past.
User-interaction through speech, touch, gesture and swipe
has become the key differentiator in the success of popular
applications today. One of the key advantages of the W3C
Multimodal Architecture (MMI) is its suitability for simple
to sophisticated applications across devices in creating
compelling user experiences, leveraging advances in i/o
methodologies, and supporting inter-operability among
multiple vendors' products.
