W3C Opens Emotion Markup Language Incubator Group
W3C is pleased to announce the reopening of the Emotion Markup
Language Incubator Group (XG). The mission of this new instance of
the XG is to propose a specification draft for an Emotion Markup
Language, to document it in a way accessible to non-experts, and to
illustrate its use in conjunction with a number of existing markups.
Note that this document would not be a standards-track document
until W3C charters a Working Group to develop it as a W3C
Recommendation. The XG is sponsored by W3C Members DFKI; Deutsche
Telekom T-Com; Image, Video and Multimedia Systems Lab; Loquendo,
S.p.A.; Chinese Academy of Sciences; and SRI International. W3C
Members may use this form to join the group. Read the final report
of the original Emotion XG and the Incubator Activity, an initiative
to foster development of emerging Web-related technologies.

W3C Invites Implementations of XForms 1.1 (Candidate Recommendation)
The Forms Working Group has published the Candidate Recommendation
of "XForms 1.1." XForms is an XML application that represents the
next generation of forms for the Web. An XForms-based Web form
gathers and processes XML data using an architecture that separates
presentation, purpose and content. XForms is not a free-standing
document type, but is intended to be integrated into other markup
languages, such as XHTML, ODF, or SVG. The Working Group invites
implementation experience of this technology from the community; see
also the group's wiki for tracking XForms 1.1 implementations. Learn
more about the XForms Activity.

XProc: An XML Pipeline Language
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Working Draft
of "XProc: An XML Pipeline Language." This specification describes
the syntax and semantics of XProc, a language for describing XML
pipelines. Pipelines are made up of simple steps which perform
atomic operations on XML documents and constructs similar to
conditionals, loops and exception handlers which control which steps
are executed. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Activity.

Summary of Workshop on Advanced Requirements for the Multimodal
Framework
W3C has published a summary and full minutes of the Workshop on
W3C's Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces , organized by the
Multimodal Interaction Working Group in Fujisawa, Japan on 16-17
November. Participants from 17 organizations generated a list of
requirements on the current MMI Architecture. The Working Group will
review the list as a basis for improvements to the "Multimodal
Framework." Visit the Multimodal Interaction home page.

W3C Seeks Community Support for HTML Design Principles (First Public
Working Draft)
The HTML Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft
of " HTML Design Principles." This document describes the set of
guiding principles used by the HTML Working Group for the
development of HTML5, expected to define the fifth major revision of
the core language of the World Wide Web. These design principles are
an attempt to capture consensus on design approach in the areas of
compatibility, utility, interoperability, and universal access.

CURIE Syntax 1.0
The XHTML2 Working Group has published a Working Draft of "CURIE
Syntax 1.0." The aim of this document is to outline an abbreviated
syntax for expressing Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). The
proposed technology does not target the XHTML Family Markup
Languages exclusively. The target audience for this document is
designers of technology (e.g., markup languages), not the users of
that technology. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

Access Control for Cross-site Requests
The Web Application Formats Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Access Control for Cross-site Requests." This document
introduces an "opt-in policy" mechanism whereby people managing a
resource can declare whether other sites can retrieve it. The
document also defines a mechanism based on the same policy to allow
a resource to opt-in to requests using an HTTP method other than
GET. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
