Selectors Level 3 is a W3C Recommendation
6 November 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7374>
The CSS Working Group has published "Selectors Level 3" as a W3C Recommendation. "Selectors" are patterns that match against elements in a tree, and as such form one of several technologies that can be used to select nodes in an HTML or XML document. Selectors have been optimized for use with HTML and XML, and are designed to be usable in performance-critical code.

TTML Profiles are intended to be used across subtitle and caption delivery applications worldwide, thereby simplifying interoperability, consistent rendering and conversion to other subtitling and captioning formats.
W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Containment and Flexible Box Layout Module Level 1
8 November 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7379>
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of two updated Candidate Recommendations:
<https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members>
* CSS Containment Module Level 1 describes the ‘contain’ property, which indicates that the element’s subtree is independent of the rest of the page. This enables heavy optimizations by user agents when used well.
* CSS Flexible Box Layout Module Level 1 describes a CSS box model optimized for user interface design. In the flex layout model, the children of a flex container can be laid out in any direction, and can “flex” their sizes, either growing to fill unused space or shrinking to avoid overflowing the parent. Both horizontal and vertical alignment of the children can be easily manipulated. Nesting of these boxes (horizontal inside vertical, or vertical inside horizontal) can be used to build layouts in two dimensions.
"CSS" is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, etc.

First Public Working Draft: Trace Context
6 November 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7369>
The Distributed Tracing Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "Trace Context." A distributed application is an application that consists of multiple components, also known as micro-services, that are deployed and operated separately. The Trace Context specification defines properties intended for event correlation between micro-services to allow various tracing and diagnostics monitoring products to operate together.
