Developers Guide to Features of Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools
Draft Published
24 July 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3978
The First Public Working Draft of "Developers’ Guide to
Features of Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools" was published
today by the Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT
WG). The document describes features that web authoring tools
and quality assurance tools can incorporate to support web
accessibility evaluation. It is useful for tool developers to
get introductory guidance on these features, and is useful for
people who want to compare tools, for example, during
procurement. The document is intended to promote awareness of
accessibility evaluation tool features and to encourage tool
developers to include relevant features so that tools better
support Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ( WCAG ) 2.0
conformance evaluation. Learn more about the Web Accessibility
Initiative (WAI).

22 July 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3962
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a
First Public Working Draft of "Mixed Content." This
specification details how user agents can mitigate risks to
security and privacy by limiting a resource???s ability to
inadvertently communicate in the clear, or to expose non-public
resources to the web at large. This specification describes how
and why user agents disallow rendering and execution of content
loaded over unencrypted or unauthenticated connections in the
context of an encrypted and authenticated document. Learn more
about the Security Activity.
