XForms 1.0 Third Edition Is a W3C Recommendation
The World Wide Web Consortium today released "XForms 1.0 Third
Edition" as a Recommendation. 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. 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.

XMLHttpRequest Object for Ajax: Working Draft
The Web API Working Group released an updated Working Draft of "The
XMLHttpRequest Object." The core component of Ajax, the
XMLHttpRequest object is an interface that allows scripts to perform
HTTP client functions, such as submitting form data or loading data
from a remote Web site. Read about the Rich Web Clients Activity.

Content Transformation Landscape 1.0: Working Draft
The Content Transformation Task Force of the Mobile Web Best
Practices Working Group released the First Public Working Draft of
"Content Transformation Landscape 1.0." This document identifies
some issues surrounding the use of transforming proxies in the
delivery of Web content. Discussion of these issues is expected to
influence the (future) requirements document for Content
Transformation Guidelines. Read about the Mobile Web Initiative.

Progress Events 1.0: Working Draft
The Web API Working Group released an updated Working Draft of
"Progress Events 1.0." These five events and their interfaces are
used for data transfer in Ajax Web applications as described in
"XHR" and for "media access events." When additional data is
downloaded on demand, scripts can monitor progress, construct
loading bars, and take action once data has been transferred. Read
about the Rich Web Clients Activity.

XML Signature and Encryption Workshop Report
The report of the Workshop on Next Steps for XML Signature and XML
Encryption is available. The report shows strong interest in
additional work on XML security at W3C. A basic signature profile,
the referencing and transform models, updating the set of supported
cryptographic algorithms, and revisiting XML canonicalization were
seen as highest priority among the several topics identified by the
participants. The Workshop was held in September in Mountain View,
CA, USA, hosted by VeriSign and chaired by Frederick Hirsch (Nokia)
and Thomas Roessler (W3C). Read about W3C Workshops and about the
Security Activity.
