Call for Review: CSS Fonts Module Level 3 is a W3C Proposed Recommendation
14 August 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7241>
The CSS Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of "CSS Fonts Module Level 3." This CSS3 module describes how font properties are specified and how font resources are loaded dynamically. The contents of this specification are a consolidation of content previously divided into "CSS3 Fonts" and "CSS3 Web Fonts" modules. The description of font load events was moved into the CSS Font Loading module.

<https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/WD-css-values-4-20180814/>
The CSS Scroll Snap Module contains features to control panning and scrolling behavior with “snap positions”. The CSS module, defined in the CSS Values and Units Module Level 3 and Level 4, describes the common values and units that CSS properties accept and the syntax used for describing them in CSS property definitions. See changes in "Level 3" and "Level 4."

W3C Invites Implementations of Timed Text Markup Language 2 (TTML2)
14 August 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7243>
The Timed Text Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of "Timed Text Markup Language 2 (TTML2)." This document specifies the Timed Text Markup Language (TTML), Version 2, also known as TTML2, in terms of a vocabulary and semantics thereof.
<https://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/>
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/CR-ttml2-20180814/>
The Timed Text Markup Language is a content type that represents timed text media for the purpose of interchange among authoring systems. Timed text is textual information that is intrinsically or extrinsically associated with timing information.
It is intended to be used for the purpose of transcoding or exchanging timed text information among legacy distribution content formats presently in use for subtitling and captioning functions.
In addition to being used for interchange among legacy distribution content formats, TTML Content may be used directly as a distribution format, for example, providing a standard content format to reference from a <track> element in an "[HTML 5.2]" document, or a <text> or <textstream> media element in a "[SMIL 3.0]" document.
