CSS Regions Module Level 1 Draft Published

   9 October 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4131

   The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
   Working Draft of "CSS Regions Module Level 1." The CSS Regions
   module allows content from one or more elements to flow through
   one or more boxes called CSS Regions, fragmented as defined in
   CSS3-BREAK. This module also defines CSSOM to expose both the
   inputs and outputs of this fragmentation. 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.

   Today the XQuery Working Group published a Last Call Working
   Draft of "XQuery 3.1" and "XQueryX 3.1." Additional supporting
   documents were published jointly with the XSLT Working Group: a
   "Last Call Working Draft of XPath 3.1," together with "XPath
   Functions and Operators," "XQuery and XPath Data Model," and
   "XSLT and XQuery Serialization." XQuery 3.1 and XPath 3.1
   introduce improved support for working with JSON data with map
   and array data structures as well as loading and serializing
   JSON; additional support for HTML class attributes, HTTP dates,
   scientific notation, cross-scaling between XSLT and XQuery and
   more. Comments are welcome through 7 November 2014. Learn more
   about the XML Activity.

Selection API First Public Draft Published; Push API Draft Published

   7 October 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4122

   The Web Applications Working Group has published two documents
   today:

   http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
     * A First Public Working Draft of Selection API. This
       document is a preliminary draft of a specification for the
       Selection API and selection related functionality. It
       replaces a couple of old sections of the HTML
       specification, the selection part of the old DOM Range
       specification.
     * A Working Draft of Push API. The Push API provides webapps
       with scripted access to server-sent messages, for
       simplicity referred to here as push messages, as delivered
       by push services. A push service allows a webapp server to
       send messages to a webapp, regardless of whether the webapp
       is currently active on the user agent. The push message
       will be delivered to a Service Worker, which could then
       store the message’s data or display a notification to the
       user. This specification is designed to promote
       compatibility with any delivery method for push messages
       from push services to user agents.

Published

   7 October 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4124

   The Device APIs Working Group and Web Real-Time Communications
   Working Group have published a First Public Working Draft of
   "Media Capture Depth Stream Extensions." This specification
   extends the Media Capture and Streams specification to allow a
   depth stream to be requested from the web platform using APIs
   familiar to web authors. Learn more about the Ubiquitous Web
   Applications .

Workshops

     * 2014-11-20 (20 NOV) – 2014-11-21 (21 NOV)
       Workshop on Privacy and User–Centric Controls
       https://www.w3.org/2014/privacyws/
       Berlin, Germany
       Hosted by Deutsche Telekom
       Participants will investigate strategies toward better
       privacy protection on the Web that are effective and lead
       to benefits in the near term. This includes discussing
       basic privacy UI features that will, on the long run,
       create a user experience that loops with user expectations.
       We expect certain controls and dashboards in a car. Perhaps
       we can create a similar clarity for the privacy dashboard
       of our devices.
       The Workshop focus will be on users: user experience, user
       behavior and how we can offer controls that provide the
       necessary transparency of privacy-affecting interactions.
       We will also discuss how developers can meet users' privacy
       needs on the Web, including what APIs are necessary for
       user privacy.
