Encrypted Media Extensions; HTML Canvas 2D Context, Level 2 Drafts
Published
28 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4040
The HTML Working Group has published two documents today:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/
* A Working Draft of Encrypted Media Extensions. This
proposal extends HTMLMediaElement providing APIs to control
playback of protected content. The API supports use cases
ranging from simple clear key decryption to high value
video (given an appropriate user agent implementation).
License/key exchange is controlled by the application. This
specification does not define a content protection or
Digital Rights Management system. Rather, it defines a
common API that may be used to discover, select and
interact with such systems as well as with simpler content
encryption systems.
* A Working Draft of HTML Canvas 2D Context, Level 2. This
specification defines the 2D Context for the HTML canvas
element. The 2D Context provides objects, methods, and
properties to draw and manipulate graphics on a canvas
drawing surface.
Learn more about the HTML Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Masking Module Level 1
26 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4033
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group and the SVG
Working Group invite implementation of the Candidate
Recommendation of "CSS Masking Module Level 1." CSS Masking
provides two means for partially or fully hiding portions of
visual elements: masking and clipping. Masking describes how to
use another graphical element or image as a luminance or alpha
mask. Clipping describes the visible region of visual elements.
The region can be described by using certain SVG graphics
elements or basic shapes. Anything outside of this region is
not rendered. CSS is a language for describing the rendering of
structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on
paper, in speech, etc. Learn more about the Style Activity and
the Graphics Activity.

Last Call: CSS Counter Styles Level 3
26 August 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4032
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. It also predefines
a set of common counter styles, including the ones present in
CSS2 and CSS2.1. Comments are welcome through 23 September. CSS
is a language for describing the rendering of structured
documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in
speech, etc. Learn more about the Style Activity.
