In accordance with the <a href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/">W3C Patent Policy</a>, W3C has launched a Patent Advisory Group (<acronym>PAG</acronym>) in response to

<a href="http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/38482/status#disclosures">disclosures</a>

|
|
The <a href="/Graphics/SVG/Group/">SVG Working Group</a> and <a href="/2006/webapi/group/">Web API Working Group</a> jointly develop this specification. W3C <a href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Exception">launches a PAG</a> to resolve issues in the event a patent has been disclosed that may be essential, but is not available under the <a href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#def-RF">W3C Royalty-Free licensing requirements</a>. Public comments regarding these disclosures may be sent to public-rex-pag@w3.org (<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rex-pag/">public archive</a>).

Ten years ago, on 17 December
|
|
1996, W3C published the first standard for style on the Web: <a href="/TR/REC-CSS1">Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), level 1</a>.
|
|
CSS Web designers have since enjoyed fine-grain control of page
|
|
appearance (fonts, colors, layout, margins, etc.) and easier page
|
|
design and maintenance. CSS can also help make pages more adaptable
|
|
to more users, including users with mobile devices and some users with
|
|
disabilities. To celebrate this tenth anniversary, W3C invites
|
|
developers to propose their favorite CSS designs for the <a href="/Style/CSS10/reactions.html">CSS10 Gallery</a>. Learn more
|
|
about CSS from the <a href="/Style/CSS10/">CSS10 pages</a>, the <a href="/2006/12/css10-pressrelease">press release</a>, and the <a href="/Style/CSS/">CSS home page</a>. </p>

<p> The Compound Document Formats
|

Working Group has released four Last Call Working Drafts: <a href="/TR/2006/WD-CDR-20061122/">Compound Document by Reference Framework
|
|
1.0</a>, <a href="/TR/2006/WD-WICD-20061122/">WICD Core 1.0</a>,

Comments are welcome through 19 December. The Web Integration Compound
|
|
Document (WICD, pronounced "wicked") is a device independent Compound
|
|
Document profile based on XHTML, CSS and SVG. The drafts describe
|
|
behavior when single documents contain multiple formats. Read more

<p> W3C is pleased to announce the

|
advancement of XML Query 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0 and supporting
|
|
documents to Proposed Recommendations. XSLT transforms documents into
|
|
different markup or formats. Important for databases, search engines
|
|
and object repositories, XML Query can perform searches, queries and
|
|
joins over collections of documents. Both XSLT 2 and XQuery use XPath
|
|
expressions and operate on XPath Data Model instances. Today's drafts
|
|
incorporate changes since Candidate Recommendation and move the
|
|
<code>xdt:*</code> types to the XML Schema <code>xs</code> namespace, a
|
|
change made in conjunction with the XML Schema Working Group. Comments
|

are welcome through 31 December. Visit the <a href="/XML/">XML home
