This weekly summary covers events in multiple <a href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C</a> groups, and some outside events as well. Feel free to chime in the comments and add information or ask for more details. </p>

<h4 id="backslashesprocessingincontenttypeheaders-issue-126">backslashes processing in Content Type headers - ISSUE-126</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Should HTML5 specification <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/126">require backslashes to be processed as escapes</a> in Content-Type headers in <code><meta></code> elements? It has been <a href="http://www.w3.org/mid/4D8B328B.30408@intertwingly.net">decided</a> to keep the specification as it is currently. Some Web client implementers noticed that they intended to change the parsing accordingly to the specification and what other user agents are doing.</p>

|
|
|
<h4 id="microdatausabilitystudy-issue-139">Microdata usability study - ISSUE-139</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Should the microdata usability study be placed in the HTML5 or the Microdata specifications? This is a minor <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/139">issue</a> which <a href="http://www.w3.org/mid/4D8B7AC8.1060205@intertwingly.net">has been solved</a> by moving a sentence from HTML5 specification to Microdata specification.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="conformingdocument-issue-140">Conforming document - ISSUE-140</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The term “conforming document” and how it is used by other specifications has been an <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/140">issue</a>. The issues surrounding conformance are not totally solved and needs better bug reports. In the meantime, the WG has <a href="http://www.w3.org/mid/4D8B3291.2020206@intertwingly.net">decided</a> to adopt for this specific issue: “Conformance terminology when applicable specifications are used”.</p>
