Last Call: CSS Color Module Level 3
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Color Module Level 3." CSS
(Cascading Style Sheets) is a language for describing the rendering
of HTML and XML documents on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. It
uses color related properties and respective values to color the
text, backgrounds, borders, and other parts of elements in a
document. This specification describes color values and properties
for foreground color and group opacity. These include properties and
values from CSS level 2 and new values. Comments are welcome through
01 September. Learn more about the Style Activity.

XML Entity definitions for Characters Draft Published
The Math Working Group has published the Working Draft of "XML
Entity definitions for Characters." Many XML entity names are in
common use for mathematical symbols, and this specification aims to
provide standard mappings to Unicode for each of these names. Learn
more about the Math Activity.

First Drafts of XQuery 1.1 and XQuery 1.1 Use Cases Published
The XML Query Working Group has published the First Public Working
Drafts of "XQuery 1.1" and "XQuery 1.1 Use Cases." The former
describes a query language called XQuery, which is designed to be
broadly applicable across many types of XML data sources. This
version of XQuery extends the version of the XQuery 1.0
Recommendation published on 23 January 2007; see the "list of
changes." The latter document describes usage scenarios that will
impact the design of XQuery 1.1. Learn more about the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) Activity.
