Quota Management API; Input Method Editor API Drafts Published
9 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4569>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Quota Management API." This specification defines an
API to manage usage and availability of local storage
resources, and defines a means by which a user agent (UA) may
grant Web applications permission to use more local space,
temporarily or persistently, via various different storage
APIs.
<http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-quota-api-20150409/>
The Group also published a Working Draft of "Input Method
Editor API." This specification defines an “IME API” that
provides Web applications with scripted access to an IME
(input-method editor) associated with a hosting user agent.
This API is designed to be used in conjunction with DOM events.

Three Drafts Published by the SVG Working Group
9 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4585>
The SVG Working Group has published two First Published Working
Drafts and one Working Draft.
<http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/>
"SVG Markers" is a specification that defines SVG markers, a
feature for placing re-usable graphical elements along the
outline of an SVG shape.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-svg-markers-20150409/>
"SVG Strokes" is a specification that defines properties for
controlling the appearance of strokes painted for SVG shapes.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-svg-strokes-20150409/>
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2" is a specification that
defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics
(SVG) Version 2. SVG is a language based on XML for describing
two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG
content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions,
and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or
embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG
also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create
interactive documents, and animations can be performed using
declarative animation features or by using script.

First Public Working Draft: The Permissions API Draft Published
7 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4563>
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "The Permissions API." The Permissions API
allows a web application to be aware of the status of a given
permission, to know if it is granted, denied or if the user
will be asked whether the permission should be granted. Learn
more about the Security Activity.

First Public Working Draft: HTML Accessibility API Mappings
(HTML-AAM)
7 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4553>
The Protocols and Formats Working Group and HTML Working Group
published a First Public Working Draft of "HTML Accessibility
API Mappings 1.0" (HTML-AAM). This specification defines how
user agents map HTML markup to platform accessibility
application programming interfaces (APIs). Documenting these
mappings promotes interoperable exposure of roles, states,
properties, and events implemented by accessibility APIs, and
helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner
consistent with author intent. It provides HTML-specific
guidance to define how the HTML user agent must respond to
keyboard focus, native HTML features, and role, state, and
property attributes provided in web content via WAI-ARIA . It
is part of a set of technology-specific modules that provide
accessibility API mapping support for features in WAI-ARIA 1.1.
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF>
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html-aam-1.0-20150407/>
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria>
The mappings defined in this specification were previously
published as " HTML to Platform Accessibility APIs
Implementation Guide." Since the time that document was
created, work on WAI-ARIA 1.1 and HTML 5.1 have led to a larger
set of related Accessibility API mappings and the need to
express the mappings for various technologies in a consistent
manner, so that earlier draft specification will be retired.

Initiative (WAI).

Recommendation of "HTML5 Web Messaging." This specification

contexts in HTML documents. Comments are welcome through 05
May. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Call for review: Proposal to Relicense Contacts API, Messaging API
and Telephony API Specifications
7 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4560>
Today the W3C Advisory Committee Representatives received a
Proposal to license the Contacts API, Messaging API and
Telephony API Specifications. Pursuant to the W3C Policy on
Relicensing Unfinished W3C Specifications, the Director
proposes to relicense the Specifications under a choice of
license: CC-BY, W3C Software License or BSD 2-clause license.
In the event that W3C chooses a default permissive license
during or after this relicensing, W3C will also make the
Specifications available under such license. Public comments
are welcome through 5 May 2015.
