Upgrade Insecure Requests, and Mixed Content are W3C Candidate
Recommendations
8 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5041>
The Web Application Security Working Group has published
Candidate Recommendations for two documents that help Web
authors and users toward secure, authenticated browsing:
<http://www.w3.org//www.w3.org/2011/webappsec/>
* Upgrade Insecure Requests defines a mechanism which allows
authors to instruct a user agent to upgrade a priori
insecure resource requests to secure transport before
fetching them.
* Mixed Content describes how a user agent should handle
fetching of content over unencrypted or unauthenticated
connections in the context of an encrypted and
authenticated document.
Selection API Draft Published
8 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5039>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Selection API." This document is a preliminary draft
of a specification for the Selection API and selection related
functionality. It replaces a couple of old sections of the HTML
specification, the selection part of the old DOM Range
specification.

Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) Draft Published
8 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5045>
The RDF Data Shapes Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL)." SHACL (Shapes
Constraint Language) is a language for describing and
constraining the contents of RDF graphs. SHACL groups these
descriptions and constraints into “shapes”, which specify
conditions that apply at a given RDF node. Shapes provide a
high-level vocabulary to identify predicates and their
associated cardinalities, datatypes and other constraints.
Additional constraints can be associated with shapes using
SPARQL and similar extension languages. These extension
languages can also be used to define new high-level vocabulary
terms. SHACL shapes can be used to communicate information
about data structures associated with some process or
interface, generate or validate data, or drive user interfaces.
This document defines the SHACL language and its underlying
semantics.

Call for Review: W3C DOM4 Proposed Recommendation Published
6 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5035>
The HTML Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation
of "W3C DOM4." DOM defines a platform-neutral model for events
and node trees. DOM4 adds Mutation Observers as a replacement
for Mutation Events. Comments are welcome through 03 November.

Shadow DOM Draft Published
6 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5037>
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Shadow DOM." This specification describes a method
of combining multiple DOM trees into one hierarchy and how
these trees interact with each other within a document, thus
enabling better composition of the DOM.
