19 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4520>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "UI Events (formerly DOM Level 3 Events)." This

W3C Invites Implementations of Mixed Content
17 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4494>
W3C and the Web Application Security Working Group invite
implementation of “ "Mixed Content,"” a specification that
aims to improve web security by describing how a user agent
should handle fetching of content loaded in a mixed security
context. Specifically, it provides recommendations for the
handling of content fetched over unencrypted or unauthenticated
connections in the context of an encrypted and authenticated
document. The WebAppSec WG, part of the Security Activity,
welcomes comments on its public mailing list.

Edited Recommendations for RDFa 1.1 Published
17 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4491>
The RDFa Working Group has published four Edited
Recommendations for RDFa 1.1, namely "HTML+RDFa 1.1," "RDFa
Core 1.1," "RDFa Lite 1.1," and "XHTML+RDFa 1.1." The
HTML+RDFa 1.1 Recommendation had to be updated now that both
"RDF 1.1 Concepts" and "HTML5" are Recommendations, in order to
resolve dependencies and finalize the pending normative status
of some HTML+RDFa 1.1 features. Using the opportunity of a
republication of this document, the few editorial errata in all
the RDFa 1.1 documents have also been taken care of. The
Working Group has also published a new version of the "RDFa 1.1
Primer" Working Group Note. Learn more about the Data Activity.

Web MIDI API Draft Published
17 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4502>
The Audio Working Group has published an updated Working Draft
of "Web MIDI API." This specification provides users with a
bridge between a Web browser and their MIDI-capable devices,
such as musical instruments, lighting controls, or any other
MIDI device. With this API, users can control or exchange
information with MIDI devices directly from the browser. The
Web MIDI API is a low-level feature, intended for use with
other web platform features, like the Web Audio API, with the
goal of familiarity for users of operating-system-level MIDI
APIs, such as Apple’s CoreMIDI and Microsoft’s Windows MIDI
API. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Public Identifiers for entity resolution in XHTML Note Published
17 March 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4498>
The HTML Working Group has published a Group Note of "Public
Identifiers for entity resolution in XHTML." This document
adds an additional public identifier that should be recognized
by XHTML user agents and cause the HTML character entity
definitions to be loaded. Unlike the identifiers already listed
by the HTML 5 specification, the identifier added by this
extension references the set of definitions that is used by
HTML. Learn more about the HTML Activity.
