   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
   Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Counter Styles Level 3." This
   module introduces the ‘@counter-style’ rule, which allows
   authors to define their own custom counter styles for use with
   CSS list-marker and generated-content counters [CSS3LIST]. It
   also predefines a set of common counter styles, including the
   ones present in CSS2 and CSS2.1. Comments are welcome through
   18 August. Learn more about the Style Activity.

   The HTML Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft

   accessible to people with disabilities. It is developed by the
   HTML Accessibility Task Force in coordination with the HTML
   Working Group and the WAI Protocols and Formats Working Group
   (PFWG). Please see additional information in the HTML5 Image
   Description Extension Last Call e-mail. Comments are welcome

       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.
