Last Call: Web Security Context: User Interface Guidelines
The Web Security Context Working Group has published the Last Call
Working Draft of "Web Security Context: User Interface Guidelines."
This specification deals with the trust decisions that users must
make online, and with ways to support them in making safe and
informed decisions where possible. In order to achieve that goal,
this specification includes recommendations on the presentation of
identity information by Web user agents. It also includes
recommendations on handling errors in security protocols. The error
handling recommendations both minimize the trust decisions left to
users, and represent known best practice in inducing users toward
safe behavior where they have to make these decisions. Comments are
welcome through 15 September. Learn more about the Security
Activity.

Two Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Drafts Published: Format 1.0;
Evaluation
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group published two Working
Drafts today: "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0" and
"Efficient XML Interchange Evaluation." The former specifies the
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format. EXI is a very compact
representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information
Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the
utilization of computational resources. The EXI format uses a hybrid
approach drawn from the information and formal language theories,
plus practical techniques verified by measurements, for entropy
encoding XML information. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which
is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of
data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event
streams. The latter document, a first public draft, is an evaluation
of the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 with reference to
the Properties identified by the (now closed) XML Binary
Characterization (XBC) Working Group, relative to XML, gzipped XML
and ASN.1 PER. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Activity.

SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0 First Draft Published
The SOAP-JMS Binding Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0." The work
described in this and related documents is aimed at a set of
standards for the transport of SOAP messages over Java Message
Service (JMS). The main purpose is to ensure interoperability
between the implementations of different Web services vendors. It
should also enable customers to implement their own Web services for
part of their infrastructure, and to have this interoperate with
vendor provided Web services. This document specifies bindings for
both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, using the SOAP 1.2 Protocol Binding
Framework. Learn more about the Web Services Activity.
