regarding next steps for XML Security specifications. The group's
deliverables include new work on XML Signature Syntax and Processing
and XML Encryption Syntax and Processing, as well as maintenance of

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Namespaces Module (Candidate
Recommendation)

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the
Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Namespaces Module." This 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. Learn more about the Style Activity.

The Web API Working Group has published a Working Draft of "Progress
Events 1.0."This document describes event types that can be used
for monitoring the progress of an operation. It is primarily
intended for contexts such as data transfer operations specified by
"XMLHTTPRequest," or "Media Access Events." Learn more about the
Rich Web Client Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0
(Candidate Recommendation); Requirements and Use Cases Drafts Available

The W3C XML Query Working Group and the W3C XSL Working Group
jointly published today a Candidate Recommendation of "XQuery and
XPath Full Text 1.0." This document defines the syntax and formal
semantics of XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 which is a language that
extends XQuery 1.0 [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language] and XPath 2.0
[XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0] with full-text search capabilities.
Implementors are encouraged to run the groups' test suite and report
their results. The Groups also published Working Drafts of " XQuery
and XPath Full Text 1.0 Requirements" and "Use Cases." Learn more

State Chart XML (SCXML) Working Draft Published

The Voice Browser Working Group has published an updated Working
Draft of "State Chart XML (SCXML): State Machine Notation for
Control Abstraction." SCXML is an execution environment based on
UML Harel State Tables and "CCXML." The main differences from the
previous draft are (1) the modularization of the language, (2) the
introduction of profiles and (3) a revision of the algorithm for
document interpretation; the document as a whole has changed
significantly and the group welcomes review. Learn more about the
Voice Browser Activity.

Last Call: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Snapshot 2007

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the
Last Call Working Draft of "Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Snapshot
2007." This document collects together into one definition all the
specifications that together form the current state of Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS). The primary audience is CSS implementors, not
CSS authors, as this definition includes modules by specification
stability, not Web browser adoption rate. Comments are welcome
through 09 June. Learn more about the Style Activity.

"Web Accessibility for Older Users: A Literature Review"; Comments
Welcome on First Public Draft

The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Education and Outreach
Working Group Working Group (EOWG) has published "Web Accessibility
for Older Users: A Literature Review" as a First Public Working
Draft. The document includes reviews and analysis of guidelines and
articles covering the requirements of people with Web accessibility
needs related to ageing. This literature review will inform WAI
efforts to promote accessibility solutions for older Web users and
potentially to develop profiles or extensions to WAI guidelines. The
literature review is a deliverable of the WAI-AGE Project (Ageing
Education and Harmonisation). See the call for review and
participation for an introduction to the project and an invitation
to contribute to the literature review and other WAI-AGE work; and

Last Call: CURIE Syntax 1.0

The XHTML2 Working Group has published the Last Call Working Draft
of "CURIE Syntax 1.0," which outlines a syntax for expressing URIs
in a generic, abbreviated syntax ("Compact URI"). The specification
targets language designers who need a mechanism to permit the use of
extensible value collections. Any language designer considering the
use of QNames in attribute values should consider instead using
CURIEs, since CURIEs are designed for this purpose, while QNames are
not. Comments are welcome through 10 June. Learn more about the HTML
Activity.

W3C Invites Implementations of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(WCAG) 2.0 (Candidate Recommendation)

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group has
released "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0" as a Candidate
Recommendation, and published updated Working Drafts of
"Understanding WCAG 2.0" and "Techniques for WCAG 2.0," along with
How to Meet WCAG 2.0 and Comparison of WCAG 1.0 Checkpoints to WCAG
2.0. WCAG defines how to make Web sites, Web applications, and other
Web content accessible to people with disabilities. Working closely
with Web developers, the WCAG Working Group expects to receive
initial implementations by 30 June 2008 and to show evidence of
meeting the "exit criteria" by 31 August 2008. Read the press
release, invitation to implement, Overview of WCAG 2.0 Documents,

Canonical XML Version 1.1 Is a W3C Recommendation

The XML Core Working Group has published the W3C Recommendation of
"Canonical XML Version 1.1." Canonical XML Version 1.1 is a
revision to Canonical XML Version 1.0 to address issues related to
inheritance of attributes in the XML namespace when canonicalizing
document subsets, including the requirement not to inherit xml:id,
and to treat xml:base URI path processing properly. Canonical XML
Version 1.1 is applicable to XML 1.0 and defined in terms of the
XPath 1.0 data model. It is not defined for XML 1.1. As a
Recommendation, this is a stable document and may be used as
reference material or cited from another document. Learn more about
the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

XProc: An XML Pipeline Language Draft Published

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: An XML Pipeline Language, a
language for describing operations to be performed on XML documents.
Pipelines are made up of simple steps which perform atomic
operations on XML documents and constructs similar to conditionals,
iteration, and exception handlers, which control which steps are
executed. The status section of the document lists the most

Product Modelling Incubator Group to Identify Basic Ontology for
Product Modelling

W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Product Modelling
Incubator Group, sponsored by W3C Members TNO, POSC-Caesar
Association, and Fraunhofer. Per the charter, the SWOP and S-TEN
projects, with the POSC Caesar Association, believe that it is
possible to define a small core of basic classes and properties for
product modelling. This "product core" could be the basis of the
ontologies defined by the two projects, and for many other
application ontologies. This core could help the development of Web
ontologies derived from existing international standards, such as
IFC, STEP and ISO 15926. The XG has been proposed to work on this
core set. Read more about the Incubator Activity, an initiative to
foster development of emerging Web-related technologies. Incubator
Activity work is not on the W3C standards track.
