23 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4868>
The XML Security Working Group has published a Group Note of
"XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 2.0." This
informative W3C Working Group Note describes XML digital
signature processing rules and syntax. XML Signatures provide
integrity, message authentication, and/or signer authentication
services for data of any type, whether located within the XML
that includes the signature or elsewhere. Learn more about the
Security Activity.

First Public Working Draft: Chinese Layout Requirements
23 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4866>
The Internationalization Working Group has published a First
Public Working Draft of "Requirements for Chinese Text Layout"
. The document describes requirements for Chinese script layout
and text support on the Web and in digital publications. These
requirements inform developers of Web technologies such as CSS,
HTML, and SVG, and browser and tool implementers, about how to
support users working in Chinese. The document is being
developed by the Chinese Layout Task Force, part of the
Internationalization Interest Group. This is still a very early
draft and the group is looking for comments and contributions
to support the further development of the document.

System Applications Working Group (SysApps WG): Three Notes Published
23 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4872>
The System Applications Working Group is in the process of
being closed, and are republishing the group’s working drafts
as working group notes to indicate their change of status.
<http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/>
"Task Scheduler API Specification" is a specification that
defines an API to schedule a task at a specified time. When the
indicated time is reached, the application that scheduled the
task will be notified via a functional event on a service
worker. A task event will be delivered to a service worker,
regardless of whether the application is active on user agent.
Applications such as an alarm clock or an auto-updater may
utilize this API to perform certain action at a specified time.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-task-scheduler-20150723/>
"The app: URL Scheme" is a specification that defines the app:
URL scheme. The app: URL scheme can be used by packaged
applications to obtain resources that are inside a container.
These resources can then be used with web platform features
that accept URLs.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-app-uri-20150723/>
"TCP and UDP Socket API" is an API that provides interfaces to
raw UDP sockets, TCP Client sockets and TCP Server sockets. As
such, this requires a high level of trust in applications that
use this API, since raw sockets can be used to work around the
same origin security policy.

Spatial Data on the Web Use Cases and Requirements Note Published
23 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4861>
The Spatial Data on the Web Working Group has published the
First Public Working Draft of its "Use Cases and Requirements
document." It is being published simultaneously by both W3C
and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and is the first joint
publication arising from the collaboration announced in
January. The document sets out more than 50 requirements
derived from more than 40 use cases where geospatial
information systems and Web technologies can and should work
together more easily. Spatial data — describing geographic
locations on the earth and natural and constructed features —
enriches location-based consumer services, online maps,
journalism, scientific research, government administration, the
Internet of Things, and many other applications.

The Working Group expects to begin publishing its primary
deliverables later this year, starting with Spatial Data on the
Web Best Practices in October. Learn more about the Data

Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML and CSS Note Published
21 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4841>
The Internationalization Working Group has published a Group
Note of "Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML & CSS." This
document was used to work through and communicate
recommendations made to the HTML and CSS Working Groups for
some of the most repetitive pain points. It is being published
now for the historical record in order to capture some of the
thinking that lay behind the evolution of the specifications
and to help people in the future working on bidi issues
understand the history of the decisions taken. Notes have been
added to give a brief summary of what was actually implemented
in the HTML or CSS specifications. Learn more about the
Internationalization Activity.

Two Drafts Published by the Internationalization (i18n) WG
21 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4845>
The Internationalization Working Group has published two
Working Drafts:
<http://www.w3.org/International/core/>
"Character Model for the World Wide Web: String Matching and
Searching." This document builds upon Character Model for the
World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals (CHARMOD) to provide authors
of specifications, software developers, and content developers
a common reference on string identity matching on the World
Wide Web and thereby increase interoperability.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-charmod-norm-20150721/>
"Indic Layout Requirements." This document describes the basic
requirements for Indic script layout and text support on the
Web and in Digital Publications. These requirements provide
information for Web technologies such as CSS, HTML, and SVG
about how to support users of Indic scripts. The current
document focuses on Devanagari, but there are plans to widen
the scope to encompass additional Indian scripts as time goes
on.

W3C Invites Implementations of Content Security Policy Level 2
21 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4855>
The Web Application Security Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "Content
Security Policy Level 2." This document defines a policy
language used to declare a set of content restrictions for a
web resource, and a mechanism for transmitting the policy from
a server to a client where the policy is enforced. Learn more

First Public Working Draft: Preload
21 July 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4852>
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Preload." This specification defines the preload
relationship of the HTML Link Element. The preload relationship
of the HTML Link Element provides a declarative fetch primitive
that initiates an early fetch and separates fetching from
resource execution. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4857>
The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (ATAG
WG) has published a "Proposed Recommendation of the Authoring
Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0" and a "Working Draft
of Implementing ATAG 2.0." ATAG 2.0 provides guidelines for

accessible to authors with disabilities (Part A) and designed
to enable, support, and promote the production of more
accessible web content by all authors (Part B). Learn more
