Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) 3.0: Working Draft
The Math Working Group published an updated Working Draft of
"Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0." MathML is an
XML application for describing mathematical notation and capturing
both its structure and content. The goal of MathML is to enable
mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the World Wide
Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality for text. Version 3
adds features such as support for bidirectional text and elementary
math. Learn more about the Math Activity.

Last Call: XHTML Role Attribute Module
The XHTML2 Working Group released a Last Call Working Draft of
"XHTML Role Attribute Module." With the role attribute, authors can
annotate XML languages with machine-readable semantic information
about the purpose of elements. Use cases include accessibility,
device adaptation, server-side processing and complex data
description. The attribute can be integrated into any markup
language based on "XHTML Modularization." Visit the XHTML2 home
page.

Policy Languages Interest Group Launched
W3C is pleased to announce the launch of the Policy Languages
Interest Group (PLING), chaired by Marco Casassa-Mont (HP Labs) and
Renato Iannella (NICTA). The group is chartered to discuss
interoperability, requirements and related needs for integrating and
computing the results when different policy languages used together,
for example, OASIS XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup
Language), IETF Common Policy, and P3P (W3C Platform for Privacy
Preferences). Participation is open to W3C Members and the public.
