http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9893
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.

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

Workshops

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.
