Dear W3C Public Newsletter Subscriber, The 2013-03-04 version of the W3C Public Newsletter is online: http://www.w3.org/News/Public/pnews-20130304 A simplified plain text version is available below. Ian Jacobs, W3C Communications Team ----------------------------------- W3C Workshop Report on the Electronic Books and the Open Web Platform 04 March 2013 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9743 [] W3C today published the report of the workshop eBooks: Great Expectations for Web Standards, hosted by O'Reilly TOC on 11-12 February, 2013, in New York, USA, and sponsored by Pearson. http://www.w3.org/2012/08/electronic-books/ http://www.w3.org/2012/08/electronic-books/rapportebook W3C seeks to support the wide adoption of Web technologies in digital publishing contexts. Consequently, there is a need for the Web and Publishing communities to reinforce cooperation around well defined technical issues. This Workshop was a first step, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders to share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to ensure that emerging global technology standards meet the needs of the Digital Publishing industry. The Workshop has identified a number of technical issues where the W3C could and should work together in the coming years. The Workshop participants began discussions to prioritize lists of topics such as presentation, layout, fonts, or accessibility. As a next step, the W3C staff will work with stakeholders, such as IDPF and BISG, in the digital publishing ecosystem to identify opportunities for work related to publishing standards that can be launched at W3C. http://idpf.org/ http://www.bisg.org/ W3C Workshop Report on Do Not Track and Beyond 04 March 2013 | Archive http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9744 W3C today published the report from the W3C Workshop on Do Not Track and Beyond held at UC Berkeley in November 2012. We welcomed experts from academia, industry, civil society and regulators to discuss the status of the current work of the Tracking Protection Working Group on Do Not Track, as well as related and future standards initiatives. https://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws/report https://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws The Workshop reaffirmed the foundational assumption of a co-operative approach between the different stakeholders and identified a number of widely-shared views. We encourage those interested in ongoing work in this area to refer to the Tracking Protection Working Group, the Privacy Interest Group and the Customer Experience Digital Data Community Group. http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/ http://www.w3.org/Privacy/ http://www.w3.org/community/custexpdata/ W3C thanks the participants and appreciates the support of the UC Berkeley TRUST Science and Technology Center for hosting and of Yahoo! for sponsoring the event.

This document adds an additional public identifier that should be recognized by XHTML user agents and cause the HTML character entity definitions to be loaded. Unlike the identifiers already listed by the HTML5 specification, the identifier added by this extension references the set of definitions that is used by HTML. * The srcset attribute. When authors adapt their sites for high-resolution displays, they often need to be able to use different assets representing the same image. We address this need for adaptive, bitmapped content images by adding a srcset attribute to the img element.

Both documents were developed in collaboration with the Responsive Images Community Group. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/ http://www.w3.org/community/respimg/ * The picture element. The picture element is an image container whose source content is determined by one or more CSS media queries. * Use Cases and Requirements for Standardizing Responsive Images. This document captures the use cases and requirements for standardizing a solution for responsive images. The use cases and requirements were gathered with consultation with HTML Working Group and WHATWG participants, RICG group members, and the general public.
