WAI-ARIA for Accessible Rich Web Applications: Working Drafts
The Protocols and Formats Working Group published updated Working
Drafts of " WAI-ARIA Roles" and "WAI-ARIA States and Properties."
WAI-ARIA attributes provide information about objects that extends
what is available from markup. This allows people with disabilities
using assistive technologies such as screen readers to access rich
Web content built with Ajax and DHTML. This release provides better
alignment to accessibility APIs and provides more explanatory
material. Read the WAI-ARIA Overview and about the Web Accessibility
Initiative.

EXI Performance Testing Framework Available for Download
The Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group testing framework
for evaluating properties of alternate XML formats is now available
for download. It can be used to measure processing efficiency and
compactness, and includes support for in-memory and network testing.
The download includes over 100 documents ranging from a few bytes to
several megabytes and covering over 20 different schemas, taken from
the over ten thousand samples used by the Working Group for their
own measurements. Results and analysis from this framework for eight
candidate binary XML formats are to be published by the EXI Working
Group in July. Visit the XML home page.
