First Public Working Draft: Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.1
26 August 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9231>
The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.1." Enabling users of assistive technologies to find their way through web content requires embedding semantic metadata about web document structural divisions. This is particularly important for structural divisions of long-form documents and goes along with embedding semantic metadata about web-application widgets and behaviors for assistive technologies. This specification defines a set of WAI-ARIA roles specific to helping users of assistive technologies navigate through such long-form documents.

This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.

Working Group Notes: DID Rubric and DID Implementation Guide
26 August 2021
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9233>
The Decentralized Identifier Working Group has just published two Working Group Notes:
<https://www.w3.org/2019/did-wg/>
* DID Method Rubric v1.0: The communities behind Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) bring together a diverse group of contributors who have decidedly different notions of exactly what “decentralization” means. Rather than attempting to resolve this potentially unresolvable question, we propose a rubric — a scoring guide used to evaluate performance, a product, or a project — that teaches how to evaluate a given DID Method according to one’s own requirements.
* DID Implementation Guide v1.0: This document provides guidance to DID method developers, related to serialization, cryptographic primitive selection, governance, and interoperability.
First Public Working Draft: VirtualKeyboard API

The Web Editing Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "VirtualKeyboard API." The VirtualKeyboard API provides authors with greater control over the visibility of the virtual keyboard (VK), and greater ability to adapt the layout of web pages when VK visibility changes.
