XML is Ten!
Ten years ago, on 10 February 1998, W3C published "Extensible Markup
Language (XML) 1.0" as a W3C Recommendation. W3C is marking the
ten-year anniversary of XML by celebrating "XML10" and extending
thanks to the dedicated communities -- including people who have
participated in W3C's XML groups and mailing lists, the SGML
community, and xml-dev -- whose efforts have created a successful
family of technologies based on the solid XML 1.0 foundation. The
success of XML is a strong indicator of how dedicated individuals,
working within the W3C Process, can engage with a larger community
to produce industry-changing results. "Today we celebrate the
success of open standards in preserving Web data from proprietary
ownership," said Jon Bosak, who led the W3C Working Group that
produced XML 1.0. Read the press release and testimonials. Send W3C
a greeting and learn more about XML at W3C.

Last Call: CSS Namespaces Module
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Namespaces Module." The CSS
Namespaces module defines the syntax for using namespaces in CSS. It
defines the @namespace rule for declaring the default namespace and
binding namespaces to namespace prefixes, and it also defines a
syntax that other specifications can adopt for using those prefixes
in namespace-qualified names. Comments are welcome through 7 March.

Access Control for Cross-site Requests
The Web Application Formats Working Group has published the Working
Draft of "Access Control for Cross-site Requests." Web application
technologies commonly apply same-origin restrictions to network
requests. These restrictions prevent a Web application running from
one origin from obtaining data retrieved from another origin, and
also limit the amount of unsafe HTTP requests that can be
automatically launched toward destinations that differ from the
running application's origin. This document defines a mechanism to
enable client-side cross-site requests. Learn more about the Rich
Web Client Activity.

Note: Best Practices for XML Internationalization
The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Working Group has published a
Group Note of "Best Practices for XML Internationalization." This
document provides a set of guidelines for developing XML documents
and schemas that are internationalized properly. Following the best
practices describes here allow both the developer of XML
applications, as well as the author of XML content to create
material in different languages. Learn more about the
Internationalization Activity.
