<div class="expand_description entry-content"><p>The W3C TAG is pleased to announce the publication of a new TAG
Finding "
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/IdentifyingApplicationState">
Identifying Application State</a>."</p><p>URIs were originally used primarily to identify documents on the
Web, or with the use of fragment identifiers, portions of those
documents. As Web content has evolved to include Javascript and
similar applications that have extensive client-side logic, a need
has arisen to use URIs to identify states of such applications, to
provide for bookmarking and linking those states, etc. This finding
sets out some of the challenges of using URIs to identify
application states, and recommends some best practices. A more
formal introduction to the Finding and its scope can be found in
its 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/IdentifyingApplicationState#abstract">
abstract</a>.</p><p>The W3C TAG would like to thank Ashok Malhotra, who did much of
the analysis and editing for this work, and also former TAG member
T.V. Raman, who first brought this issue to the TAG's attention,
and who wrote earlier drafts on which this finding is based.</p></div>

<a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/archive/open_web/">weekly</a> summary
is about love for the open Web, about the work we do 
<strong>together</strong>, about the hours we spent every day to
create a better Web. I can work in this domain, because others gave
an open environment for working. Let&#x2019;s keep it open.</p><h3>HTML5</h3><p>The specification has been 
<a href="http://html5.org/r/6845">modified</a> to allow two syntaxes
for the 
<code>time</code>element. You may write time with a T or a 
<a href="http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Time_element#permit_space_instead_of_T_in_datetimes">
single space separator</a>between the date and the time.</p><pre>

&lt;time&gt;2011-12-24 23:59&lt;/time&gt;
</code>
</pre><p>XML documents have a 
<code>UTF-8</code>default encoding. Kornel Lesi&#x144;ski 
<a href="https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15076">
asked</a>if it would be possible to do that for documents with an
HTML5 doctype. Henri Sivonen (Mozilla), who is also developing the
HTML5 parser for Firefox, rejected the suggestion. It would
introduce more incompatibilities and more specific behaviors than
the already existing explicit mechanisms.</p><h3>HTML Rich Content</h3><p>Sometimes Web developers need to extend their content with a
richer semantics by adding simple data structure to their markup. A

<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-lite/">first Working Draft for
RDFa Lite 1.1</a>has been published. For example to specify that
this column is written by a human and not a cow.</p><pre>
<code>&lt;p vocab="http://schema.org/"

   This blog post is written by

</code>
</pre><p>The purpose of this group is to develop a common specification
in OWL for structured and unstructured annotations on Web
documents, based on prior work developed by the Annotation Ontology
(http://code.google.com/p/annotation-ontology/) and Open Annotation
Collaboration (http://www.openannotation.org/) efforts.</p><p>You are invited to support the creation of this group:
http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#annotation</p><h3>Video Tracks</h3><p>The WebVTT format (Web Video Text Tracks) is a format intended
for marking up external text track resources. 
<a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/">WebVTT</a> has escaped
HTML5 to be developed by the 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/community/texttracks/">Web Media Text
Tracks Community Group</a> . They also have a 
<a href="http://twitter.com/webvtt">twitter account</a> . Anne van
Kesteren has created a 
<a href="http://quuz.org/webvtt/">WebVTT Validator</a> and published
the 
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/annevk/webvtt">source code</a>on
bitbucket. The syntax is a very simple text file.</p><pre>
<code>WEBVTT

&lt;v Roger Bingham&gt;We are in New York City

00:13.000 --&gt; 00:16.000
&lt;v Roger Bingham&gt;We're actually at the Lucern Hotel, just
down the street
</code>
</pre><h3>Web Apps</h3><p>If humanity had an 
<a href="http://rniwa.com/editing/undomanager.html">
<code>UndoManager</code>API</a> we might have been able to fix a lot
of mistakes. Ryosuke Niwa (webkit) is working on such an API for
the Web and he is asking feedback. A 
<a href="http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/UndoManager_Problem_Descriptions">
long list of use cases</a>has been outlined to better understand
what do we need to solve.</p><p>Dominique Haza&#xEB;l-Massieux (W3C) has been giving a summary of the

<a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/11/mobile-web-app-state.html">
Standards for Web Applications on Mobile</a>. He has published an
update for November 2011.</p><h3>DOM</h3><p>The new methods for 
<code>append</code>, 
<code>prepend</code>, &#x2026; that we mentioned a few weeks ago have been
addred to the DOM 4 specification in the 
<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#mutation-methods">
mutation methods section</a> . This triggered a new 
<a href="https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14188">
syntax requirement for WebIDL</a> , which has not yet been
completely defined. Anne van Kesteren (Opera) has also started to
define 
<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#mutation-observers">
Mutation observers</a>.</p><h3>CSS</h3><p>An update has been published for 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-images-20111206/">CSS
Image Values and Replaced Content</a> and a new 
<strong>editor</strong>draft for 
<a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-grid-align/">CSS3 Grid
Layout</a> . As a kind reminder, these are drafts and then 
<strong>not stable</strong>. If the implementations change them or
drop these features, you will have to eat your own hat :)</p><h3>Web Architecture</h3><p>A tendency in Web development has emerged a little while ago.
Web developers started to push hash sign in their URIs not to
define an anchor in the document but the state of an application.
The W3C Technical Architecture Group has summarized 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/IdentifyingApplicationState-20111130">
best practices for handling hash signs URIs</a>.</p><p>The W3C TAG is 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/">working on a few
topics</a> in parallel. You could participate constructively to the
discussions by subscribing to the 
<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/">www-tag
mailing list</a>.</p><h3>HTTP</h3><p>You can now buffer this number, RFC 6455, in your memory lane.
The 
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455">WebSocket
Protocol</a> is 
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg09663.html">
accepted</a>. Though be careful, because there might still be a bit
of breakage depending if your browser has released a version of the
implementation but disabled by default. Check your preferences.</p><p>In the discussion about extending HTTP status code, Roy Fielding
(Adobe) gave an interesting 
<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2011OctDec/0364">
rule for knowing how/when to extend the list of codes</a>.</p><blockquote>
<p>When extending HTTP status codes, the question that needs to be
asked is &#x201C;how will a client process this response differently than
any of the existing status codes?&#x201D;</p>

European Commission.</p><p>The 
<a href="http://www.multilingualweb.eu/">MultilingualWeb
project</a>is looking at best practices and standards related to
all aspects of creating, localizing and deploying the Web
multilingually. The project aims to raise the visibility of
existing best practices and standards and identify gaps. The core
vehicle for this is a series of four events which are planned over
two years.</p><p>After three highly successful workshops in Madrid, Pisa, and
Limerick, this final workshop in the series will continue to
investigate currently available best practices and standards aimed
at helping content creators, localizers, tools developers, and
others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web.</p><p>Participation is free. We welcome participation from both

<div class="expand_description entry-content"><p>The 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/wiki/Open_Web_Platform">Open Web
Platform</a> 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/archive/open_web/">weekly</a>summary
is about HTML5 oldies, shadows and intents, and protocols.</p><h3>HTML5</h3><p>Yehuda Katz and a few others have started a discussion on 
<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Nov/thread.html#msg234">
Restoring PUT and DELETE</a> in HTML5 forms (
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1067">Issue
1067</a> ). The Ruby on Rails Web framework is currently using a 
<a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#how-do-forms-with-put-or-delete-methods-work">
hack for simulating PUT and DELETE</a>.</p><p>The Web is an amazing big pile of history. 
<code>border</code>attribute on 
<code>table</code>elements didn&#x2019;t have any units. Though people had
a tendency to put units such as the wrong 
<code>&lt;table border="5px"&gt;</code>. So browsers repaired
automagically to take into account only the beginning of the string
and ignore any trailing characters. Sylvain Galineau (Microsoft)
raised an 
<a href="https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15047">
issue</a> because he thought it would create issues for microdata
values. Ian Hickson mentioned that the incorrect values were not 
<strong>valid</strong>but fixed by the browser if wrong.</p><p>
<code>INS</code>and 
<code>DEL</code>elements which are used to track insertion and
deletion of contents in HTML have a very simple model. So simple
that according to Daniel Glazman (Disruptive Innovations), it is 
<a href="https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13057">not
easily implementable</a>in any useful way for authoring tools.</p><p>A Community Group has been proposed to 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#html5spec">
discuss ideas around the future of HTML and associated
features</a>.</p><h3>Web Apps</h3><p>Webkit has a 
<a href="https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73528">proposed
patch</a> for the 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/netinfo-api/">Network Information
API</a> . This is an interesting API because it allows to create
apps which behave differently depending if the network is 3g, wifi,
etc. For example, imagine a 
<strong>responsive Web design</strong>where images of adequate
sizes are sent depending on the type of network which gives a good
idea of what could be the bandwidth.</p><p>Rich Tibbet (Opera) has proposed a 
<a href="http://richtr.tumblr.com/post/12929135260/a-better-model-for-web-intents">
model for the Web intents</a>work.</p><p>Simon Pieters (Opera) wanted an 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15007">API
to queue a task</a>. After discussing about the opportunity of such
a need, Glenn Maynard proposed a piece of code that finally Simon
extended.</p><pre>
<code>var queueTask = function(task) {
    var mc = new MessageChannel();
    var args = [].slice.call(arguments, 1);
    mc.port1.onmessage = function(){ 
        this.onmessage = null; task.apply(task, args); 
        };
    mc.port2.postMessage(null);
    };
queueTask(function(arg) { console.log(arg, this) }, "test"); 
</code>
</pre><p>Dimitri Glazkov (Chromium team) has proposed a high level 
<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/explainer/index.html">
overview of Web Components for Web Developers</a>.</p><h3>DOM</h3><p>The 
<code>setAttributeNS()</code>is 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/mid/op.v5pue1ha64w2qv@annevk-macbookpro.local">
implemented differently</a> in IE, Firefox, Webkit and Opera. The
discussion, which started on the mutability of attributes, led to
discuss about simplifying the platform for HTML documents by
removing the namespacing of attributes. According to Jonas Sicking
(Mozilla), that would also improve browser performances. There
would still be needed for 
<code>XMLDocument</code>interface.</p><h3>HTTP</h3><p>When exchanging data in between client and server, there are a
few techniques. One of them is XMLHttpRequest which helps inject a
data flow into the page without reloading the full context. People
often uses it to transfer JSON packaged data. Anne van Kestern
(Opera) has added 
<code>json</code>response type to 
<a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#the-responsetype-attribute">
XMLHttpRequest</a>.</p><p>When a client and server interact on the Web, the server answer
to client requests with 3 number codes. These have very specific
meanings. For example, 
<code>200</code>means that the server has successfully answered the
client request. It is happening quite often that Web developers
(specifically those developing Web APIs) lack some 
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes">
HTTP status code</a> to have a richer interactions between the
client and the server. Mark Nottingham has been working for a while
on 
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/nottingham-http-new-status">new
HTTP status code</a>.</p><p>HTTP/1.1 allows many types of characters. This has a tendency to
create security issues when, for example in 
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3875">CGI/1.1</a> ,
translating these characters into UNIX environment variables. Some
of them are not valid and/or parseable characters. Yutaka Oiwa 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/mid/4EDC3AC0.70803@aist.go.jp">
brought</a>the subject on HTTPbis mailing list.</p><h3>Elsewhere</h3><ul class="show_items">

<div class="expand_description entry-content"><p>A 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-jlreq-20111129/">new version
of Requirements for Japanese Text Layout</a>has just been published
as a Working Draft.</p><p>The plan is to replace the 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/NOTE-jlreq-20090604/">current
W3C Working Group Note</a>with the content of this new Working
Draft after a period of review.</p><p>This document describes requirements for general Japanese layout
realized with technologies such as CSS, SVG and XSL-FO. It is also
being used by developers of other technologies, such as ebooks. The
document builds on and further develops the Japanese standard for
text layout, JIS X 4051.</p><p>This second version of the document contains a significant
amount of additional information related to hanmen design, such as
handling headings, placement of illustrations and tables, handling
of notes and reference marks, etc.</p><p>Please take a look at the new version, which is available in
English and Japanese, and send any comments to

subscribe at the archive main page</a>). Use &#x201C;[JLReq]&#x201D; in the
subject line of your email, followed by a brief subject.</p><p>Send any comments before the end of December. We hope to publish
the final version of the updated Working Group Note early in the
New Year.</p></div>
