   The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG WG) has published an updated "Working Draft of Challenges with Accessibility Guidelines Conformance and Testing, and Approaches for Mitigating Them." This document is part of work on future accessibility guidelines, including WCAG 3.0. It explores the challenges of evaluating a broad range of websites and applications for conformance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and explores approaches for mitigating these challenges.

Call for Review: TTML Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.2 is a W3C Proposed Recommendation

   16 June 2020
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8602>

   The Timed Text Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of "TTML Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.2." This specification defines two profiles of [ "ttml2" ]: a text-only profile and an image-only profile. These 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.
