Open Mobile Web Test Suite: Call for Contributions
The Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group is launching an Open Mobile
Web Test Suite built by the community for the community to describe
support for technologies in mobile Web browsers available today.
Mobile Web developers can submit test cases (as described in the
submissions guidelines) illustrating authoring practices.
Submissions will contribute to a better understanding of the current
limitations of user agents, which helps pave the way to better
mobile Web browsers tomorrow. Read the Call for Contributions and
about the Mobile Web Initiative.

ElementTraversal for DOM Navigation: Working Draft
The Web API Working Group released the First Public Working Draft of
"ElementTraversal Specification." The ElementTraversal interface

Device Independent Authoring Language (DIAL): Working Draft
The Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group has published an
updated Working Draft of "Device Independent Authoring Language
(DIAL)." DIAL describes data, styling, layout, and interaction
independently, making Web content adaptable for a wide variety of
platforms including the thousands of mobile devices in use and
devices to come. Read more about the Working Group and the
Ubiquitous Web.

Incubator Group Report: Multimedia Semantics
The W3C Multimedia Semantics Incubator Group, which includes thirty
seven representatives from organizations in Europe and North
America, published its final report. The report describes multimedia
metadata formats and relevant vocabularies for developers of
Semantic Web applications. This publication is part of the W3C
experimental Incubator Activity that develops new, potentially
foundational technologies and Web-based applications in a rapid time
frame.

XForms 1.0 Third Edition Is a Proposed Edited Recommendation
The Forms Working Group published a Proposed Edited Recommendation
for "XForms 1.0 Third Edition." The document responds to
implementor feedback, brings the XForms 1.0 Recommendation up to
date with second edition errata and reflects clarifications already
implemented in XForms processors. Comments are welcome through 31
August. XForms separates presentation and content, minimizes the
need for scripting and round-trips to the server, and offers device
independence. Visit the forms home page.

Content Selection for Device Independence (DISelect): Call for
Implementations
W3C is pleased to announce the advancement of "Content Selection for
Device Independence (DISelect) 1.0" and "Delivery Context: XPath
Access Functions 1.0" to Candidate Recommendations. Implementation
feedback is welcome. DISelect supports the creation of Web sites
that can be used from diverse devices. Based on the evaluation and
conditional processing of XML information sets, DISelect is used for
Web content selection and filtering. The XPath functions are used to
access the > Delivery Context associated with a request for content.

Efficient XML Interchange Measurements: Working Draft
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group released an updated
Working Draft of "Efficient XML Interchange Measurements Note." An
analysis of the expected performance characteristics of a potential
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) encoding format, the draft covers
the "compactness," "processing efficiency" and "roundtrip support"
properties and outlines plans for future updates. Visit the XML home
page.
