   The Web Performance Working Group invites implementations of two Candidate Recommendation Snapshots:

   <https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/webperf>
     * User Timing defines an interface to help web developers measure the performance of their applications by giving them access to high precision timestamps.

First Public Working Draft: MiniApp Packaging

   30 November 2021
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9346>

   The MiniApps Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "MiniApp Packaging." This specification defines semantics and conformance requirements for a "MiniApp package," and the structure of the single file container that holds the resources of a MiniApp, including a manifest file, static page templates, stylesheets, JavaScript documents, media files and other resources. Instances of the "MiniApp package" are used for MiniApp distribution and execution on runtime environments ( "MiniApp user agent" ).

First Public Working Draft: Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.1

   30 November 2021
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/9349>

   The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings 1.1." The Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings (DPub-AAM) defines how user agents map the Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module [ "dpub-aria-1.1" ] markup to platform accessibility APIs . It is intended for user agent developers responsible for accessibility in their user agent so that they can support the accessibility content produced for digital publishing.

   <https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/WD-dpub-aam-1.1-20211130/#bib-dpub-aria-1.1>
   <>

   The implementation of this specification in user agents enables authors to produce more accessible e-books, by conveying structural book constructs used by the digital publishing industry to assistive technologies. It does this by extending the "Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1"  and the "Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1"  specifications for user agents. It provides Accessibility API Mapping guidance for the roles defined in the Digital Publish WAI-ARIA Module.

   <https://www.w3.org/TR/core-aam-1.1/>
   <https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-1.1/>

   The DPub-AAM is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.
