     * Strong Identity: ISO 29003, Entity Attestation Token (EAT)
     * Decentralized Identity (DID): Blockchain / Distributed Ledger Technologies, Verifiable Credentials

   25 September 2018
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7314>

   The CSS Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "CSS Scrollbars Module Level 1." CSS Scrollbars standardizes the ability to color scrollbars introduced in 2000 by Windows IE 5.5. This is useful when building web applications which use color schemes very different from the appearance of default platform scrollbars.

   "CSS" is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
