Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 is a W3C
Recommendation
20 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3740
The Protocols and Formats Working Group (PFWG) today published
"Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0" and the
"WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide" as W3C
Recommendations. WAI-ARIA is a technical specification for
making dynamic, interactive Web content accessible to people
with disabilities. WAI-ARIA and supporting documents are
described in the WAI-ARIA Overview. See more information in
W3C’s Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0
Expands Accessibility of the Open Web Platform press release
and WAI-ARIA Expands Web Accessibility blog post. Read about
the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

CSS Lists and Counters Module Level 3 Draft Published, CSS Namespaces
Module Level 3 Recommendation Updated
20 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3745
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Lists and Counters Module Level 3." This
draft contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to list
styling. It includes and extends the functionality of CSS level
2 [CSS21]. The main extensions compared to level 2 are a
pseudo-element representing the list marker, and a method for
authors to define their own list-styles.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-css-lists-3-20140320/
The group also updated in place the 29 September 2011
Recommendation of "CSS Namespaces Module Level 3." The changes
include the addition of three grammar rules which aren’t used
in the spec itself, to avoid having to add them to new specs
that do need them; addition of an extra explanation to an
example (“because…”); change to the term “rule sets” to “style
rules.” Both are correct, but the latter is easier to
understand.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Writing Modes Level 3, CSS Shapes
Module Level 1
20 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3742
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of two Candidate Recommendations:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members
* CSS Writing Modes Level 3. CSS Writing Modes Level 3
defines CSS support for various international writing
modes, such as left-to-right (e.g. Latin or Indic),
right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew or Arabic), bidirectional (e.g.
mixed Latin and Arabic) and vertical (e.g. Asian scripts).
* CSS Shapes Module Level 1. CSS Shapes describe geometric
shapes for use in CSS. For Level 1, CSS Shapes can be
applied to floats. A circle shape on a float will cause
inline content to wrap around the circle shape instead of
the float’s bounding box.

documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in

Last Call: User Interface Security Directives for Content Security
Policy
18 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3737
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a Last
Call Working Draft of "User Interface Security Directives for
Content Security Policy." This document defines directives for
the Content Security Policy mechanism to declare a set of input
protections for a web resource’s user interface, defines a
non-normative set of heuristics for Web user agents to
implement these input protections, and a reporting mechanism
for when they are triggered. Comments are welcome through 18
June. Learn more about the Security Activity.

W3C Workshop on the Web of Things
18 March 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3729
W3C announced today a Workshop on the Web of Things, 25-26 June
2014, in Berlin (Germany). The event is hosted by Siemens.
http://www.w3.org/2014/02/wot/
The Web of Things is expected to have broad and sweeping
economic and societal impact. Open standards will be critical
to enabling exponential growth of the kind we experienced with
the early days of the Web.
This workshop will examine the potential for open standards as
a basis for services, either between devices, at the network
edge, e.g. in home hubs, or in the cloud. It will discuss the
use of web protocols and scripting languages for implementing
services, the need for APIs for implementing drivers for
specific IoT technologies, a shared approach to describing
services as a basis for interoperability, and the underlying
use of HTTP/COAP, Web Sockets, and EXI/JSON for RESTful
services.
W3C membership is not required to participate. The event is
open to all. All participants are required to submit an
expression of interest or a longer position paper by 25 April
2014.

Workshop on Web Payments: How do you want to pay?
http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/
Paris, France
Hosted by Ingenico
This workshop seeks to make it easier to monetize open Web
applications, as an effective alternative to proprietary
native app ecosystems. In essence, we would like to improve
the end user experience and give users greater freedom in
how they pay, to reduce the burden on developers and
merchants, and to create a level playing field for
competing payment solutions providers large and small.

Seventh MultilingualWeb Workshop: New Horizons for the

http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/2014-madrid-worksho
p/2014-madrid-cfp
Madrid, Spain
Hosted by UPM
As with previous MultilingualWeb events, this workshop will
bring together speakers and participants with an interest
in best practices and standards aimed at helping content
creators, localizers, tools developers, and others meet the
challenges of the multilingual Web. This workshop will
emphasize new technology developments that may lead to new
opportunities for the Multilingual Web. A unique
proposition of the workshop is that it brings together
speakers and provides opportunities for networking across a
wide range of communities to produce a holistic view of the
problems faced in developing and deploying multilingual
content and applications on the Web.
