In recognition of increased consumer demand for data and
services in Connected Cars, W3C announced today a new
automotive industry collaboration to bring drivers and
passengers a rich Web experience. The effort, a new Automotive
Working Group, will focus initially on giving application
vendors standard and more secure access to vehicle data.
“Connectivity is transforming the car industry,” said Matt
Jones, Head of Future Infotainment at Jaguar Land Rover. “We
believe the Web is the auto industry’s best path forward to
keep up with rapidly changing consumer expectations and
evolving technology, as well as addressing challenges such as
over-the-air updates and advanced diagnostics.” Read more
support from industry in the full press release.

Service Workers Draft Published
5 February 2015 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4361?pk_campaign=feed&pk_k
wd=service-workers-draft-published-2
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Service Workers." This specification describes a
method that enables applications to take advantage of
persistent background processing, including hooks to enable
bootstrapping of web applications while offline. The core of
this system is an event-driven Web Worker, which responds to
events dispatched from documents and other sources. A system
for managing installation, versions, and upgrades is provided.
The service worker is a generic entry point for event-driven
background processing in the Web Platform that is extensible by
other specifications. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

edefined-counter-styles-draft-published
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Counter
Styles Level 3." It adds new built-in counter styles to those
defined in CSS 2.1, but, more importantly, it also allows
authors to define custom styles for list markers, numbered
headings and other types of generated content. This Candidate
Recommendation incorporates responses to all feedback received
during the previous two Last Calls.

The Internationalization Working Group has also updated their
Working Draft of "Predefined Counter Styles," which provides
custom rules for over a hundred counter styles in use around
the world. It serves both as a ready-to-use set of styles to
copy into your own style sheets, and also as a set of worked
examples.

CSS Positioned Layout Module Level 3 Draft Published
3 February 2015 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4356?pk_campaign=feed&pk_k
wd=css-positioned-layout-module-level-3-draft-published
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Positioned Layout Module Level 3." This
module contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to
positioning and stacking of elements. It includes and extends
the functionality of CSS level 2, which builds on CSS level 1.
The main extensions compared to level 2 are the ability to
position elements based on CSS Region boxes, the ability to
specify different containing blocks for elements and sticky
positioning. Other kinds of layout, such as tables, “floating”
boxes, ruby annotations, grid layouts, columns and basic
handling of normal “flow” content, are described in other
modules. Also, the layout of text inside each line is defined
elsewhere. Learn more about the Style Activity.

wd=server-sent-events-is-a-w3c-recommendation
The Web Applications Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "Server-Sent Events." This specification
defines an API for opening an HTTP connection for receiving
push notifications from a server in the form of DOM events. The
API is designed in a way that it can be extended to work with
other push notification schemes such as Push SMS. Learn more
