Visit the W3C Track at WWW 2015
20 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4713>
[] At this year’s International World Wide Web Conference –
WWW2015, W3C organizes a W3C track, where conference
participants are invited to learn from, meet and discuss with
W3C’s team of experts. On 20 and 21 May 2015, the W3C Track
program highlights current standards work developed thanks to
the support of European projects: TV and multi-screens
scenarios from MediaScape, Web apps and rich Web APIs from
HTML5Apps, Web security architecture from Strews and Web of
data from BigDataEurope. We hope to see you in Florence, Italy!

Last Call: Canonical EXI
21 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4717>
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published a
Last Call Working Draft of "Canonical EXI." Any EXI document
is part of a set of EXI documents that are logically equivalent
within an application context, but which vary in physical
representation based on differences permitted by the Efficient
XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 (Second Edition). This
specification describes a relatively simple method for
generating a physical representation, the canonical form, of an
EXI document that accounts for the permissible changes. An
example of the applications targeted by this specification is
one that needs to guarantee non-repudiation using XML Signature
yet allows certain flexibility for intermediaries to
reconstitute the documents before they reach final destination
without breaking the signatures. Note that two documents may
have differing canonical forms yet still be equivalent in a
given context based on more elaborate application-specific
equivalence rules which is out of scope of this specification.
Comments are welcome through 16 July. Learn more about the
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Notes on Using ARIA in HTML Draft Published
21 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4720>
The HTML Working Group has published a Working Draft of "Notes
on Using ARIA in HTML." This document is a practical guide for
developers on how to add accessibility information to HTML
elements using the Accessible Rich Internet Applications
specification WAI-ARIA-1.1, which defines a way to make Web
content and Web applications more accessible to people with
disabilities. This document demonstrates how to use WAI-ARIA in
HTML51, which especially helps with dynamic content and
advanced user interface controls developed with Ajax, HTML,
JavaScript, and related technologies. Learn more about the HTML
Activity.

CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3 (CSS3 UI) Draft Published
20 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4711>
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3 (CSS3
UI)." This specification describes user interface related
properties and values that are proposed for CSS level 3 to
style HTML and XML (including XHTML). It includes and extends
user interface related features from the selectors, properties
and values of CSS level 2 revision 1 and Selectors
specifications. It uses various selectors, properties and
values to style basic user interface elements in a document.
Learn more about the Style Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Web Notifications
19 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4706>
The Web Notification Working Group invites implementation of
the Candidate Recommendation of "Web Notifications." Web
notifications defines an API for end-user notifications. A
notification allows alerting the user outside the context of a
web page of an occurrence, such as the delivery of email. Learn
more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

HTML5 Web Messaging is a W3C Recommendation
19 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4704>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "HTML5 Web Messaging." The Web Messaging
specification defines two mechanisms for communicating between
browsing contexts in HTML documents. The cross-document
postMessage API allows documents to communicate with each other
regardless of their source domain, in a way designed to not
enable cross-site scripting attacks. To enable independent
pieces of code (e.g. running in different browsing contexts) to
communicate directly, authors can use the MessageChannel and
MessagePort APIs. Communication channels in this mechanism are
implemented as two-way pipes, with a port at each end. Messages
sent in one port are delivered at the other port, and
vice-versa. Messages are delivered as DOM events, without
interrupting or blocking running tasks. Learn more about the
Rich Web Client Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of TTML Text and Image Profiles for
Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.0
19 May 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4701>
The Timed Text Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "TTML Text and Image Profiles for
Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.0." This document
specifies two profiles of TTML1: a text-only profile and an
image-only profile. These profiles are intended to be used
across subtitle and caption delivery applications worldwide,
thereby simplifying interoperability, consistent rendering and
conversion to other subtitling and captioning formats. The text
profile is a superset of TTML Simple Delivery Profile for
Closed Captions (US). Learn more about the Video in the Web
Activity.
