New W3C Markup Validator Unveiled
W3C's most popular service just got better, prettier, faster, and
smarter. The W3C Markup Validator has a new user interface and a
validation engine with improved accuracy and performance. Among new
features are an automatic cleanup option using HTML Tidy, and
checking of HTML fragments. Driven by W3C as an open-source software
project, the markup validator is made by Web professionals for Web
professionals, and aims to be a major step in any Web development
quality process. Read the change log for a list of all changes and
new features.

Distributed Web Applications: Workshop Report
The report of the Workshop on Declarative Models of Distributed Web
Applications is available. The report recommends that W3C create
requirements for declarative modeling of Web applications, and a gap
analysis that identifies where existing standards are insufficient.
The Workshop was hosted in Dublin by MobileAware with the support of
the Irish State Development Agency, Enterprise Ireland. Read about
W3C Workshops and about the Ubiquitous Web.
