Last Call: Compositing and Blending Level 1
11 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3312
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group and the SVG
Working Group have published a Last Call Working Draft of
"Compositing and Blending Level 1." Compositing describes how
shapes of different elements are combined into a single image.
There are various possible approaches for compositing. Previous
versions of SVG used Simple Alpha Compositing. In this model,
each element is rendered into its own buffer and is then merged
with its backdrop using the Porter Duff source-over operator.
This specification will define a new compositing model that
expands upon the Simple Alpha Compositing model by offering
additional Porter Duff compositing operators; advanced blending
modes which allow control of how colors mix in the areas where
shapes overlap; and compositing groups. Please send Last Call
comments by 8 November 2013. Learn more about the Style
Activity.

Touch Events is a W3C Recommendation
10 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3309
The Web Events Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation
of "Touch Events." The Touch Events specification defines a
set of low-level events that represent one or more points of
contact with a touch-sensitive surface, and changes of those
points with respect to the surface and any DOM elements
displayed upon it (e.g. for touch screens) or associated with
it (e.g. for drawing tablets without displays). It also
addresses pen-tablet devices, such as drawing tablets, with
consideration toward stylus capabilities. Learn more about the
Rich Web Client Activity.

Last Call: CSS Text Module Level 3
10 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3308
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Text Module Level 3." This
CSS3 module defines properties for text manipulation and
specifies their processing model. It covers line breaking,
justification and alignment, white space handling, and text
transformation. Comments are welcome through 07 November. Learn
more about the Style Activity.

Web Audio API Draft Published
10 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3306
The Audio Working Group has published a Working Draft of "Web
Audio API." This specification describes a high-level
JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web
applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing
graph, where a number of AudioNode objects are connected
together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual
processing will primarily take place in the underlying
implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code),
but direct JavaScript processing and synthesis is also
supported. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.1
9 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3301
The XML Core Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version
1.1." Many programming languages provide an inclusion
mechanism to facilitate modularity. Markup languages also often
have need of such a mechanism. This specification introduces a
generic mechanism for merging XML documents (as represented by
their information sets) for use by applications that need such
a facility. The syntax leverages existing XML constructs –
elements, attributes, and URI references. Learn more about the
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Use Cases and Exploratory Approaches for Ruby Markup Note Published
9 October 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3300
The Internationalization Working Group has published a Group
Note of "Use Cases & Exploratory Approaches for Ruby Markup."
This document was designed to support discussion about what is
needed in the HTML5 specification, and possibly other markup
vocabularies, to adequately support ruby markup. It describes a
number of use cases associated with ruby usage, and then
examines a number of possible ruby markup approaches for each
use case, listing pros and cons for each approach. Learn more
about the Internationalization Activity.
