First Public Working Drafts: Pronunciation
5 September 2019
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7934>
The Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group has published three First Public Working Drafts from the Pronunciation Task Force: "Pronunciation User Scenarios," "Pronunciation Use Cases," and "Pronunciation Gap Analysis." These documents are a first step in defining normative specifications and best practices guidance for text to speech (TTS) synthesis to provide proper pronunciation of HTML content.

<https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/WD-pronunciation-gap-analysis-20190905/>
The Pronunciation User Scenarios and the Pronunciation Use Cases provide examples of the need for standardization of pronunciation markup to ensure consistent and accurate representation of content. The requirements from the user scenarios will provide the basis for the technical specifications.
The Pronunciation Gap Analysis presents required features of spoken text pronunciation and presentation along with existing specifications that may support (or enable support) of those features. Gaps are defined when a required feature does not have a corresponding method by which it can be authored in HTML.
Comments are requested by 14 October 2019.
Call for Review: Verifiable Credentials Data Model 1.0 is a W3C Proposed Recommendation
5 September 2019
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7927>
The Verifiable Claims Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of "Verifiable Credentials Data Model 1.0." "Credentials" are a part of our daily lives; driver’s licenses are used to assert that we are capable of operating a motor vehicle, university degrees can be used to assert our level of education, and government-issued passports enable us to travel between countries. This specification provides a mechanism to express these sorts of "credentials" on the Web in a way that is cryptographically secure, privacy respecting, and machine-verifiable.
