   http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9671

   The Timed Text Working Group has published a Last Call Working
   Draft of "Simple Delivery Profile for Closed Captions (US)."
   This document, expected to become a Group Note, specifies the
   Simple Online Delivery Profile (US) of the Timed Text Markup
   Language (TTML). The primary goal of the profile is to
   establish a minimum level of interoperability between TTML10
   and legacy caption formats employed in US markets, such as
   CEA608 and CEA708. Comments are welcome through 31 January.

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group published a Last
   Call Working Draft of "CSS Text Decoration Module Level 3."
   This module contains the features of CSS relating to text
   decoration, such as underlines, text shadows, and emphasis
   marks. Comments are welcome through 31 January.

   The group also published today a draft of "CSS Cascading and
   Inheritance Level 3." One of the fundamental design principles
   of CSS is cascading, which allows several style sheets to
   influence the presentation of a document. When different
   declarations try to set a value for the same element/property
   combination, the conflicts must somehow be resolved. The rules
   for finding the specified value for all properties on all
   elements in the document are described in this specification.

       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
       readers. Nevertheless, publishers face major business and
       technical challenges in this market, some of which could be
       reduced or removed by standardization.
