Let me also use this blog entry as a gentle reminder that the deadline for the position paper submissions is on April the 4th

As part of a series of interviews with W3C Members to learn more about their support for standards and participation in W3C, I ‘m talking to Paul Cotton from Microsoft and co-Chair of the W3C HTML Working Group. First, let me thank you personally on becoming a co-chair of the W3C HTML Working Group

With a Future of XML workshop in the offing, maybe it’s time to revisit one of the oldest XML feature requests: binding general entities without using the internal/external subset. There have been numerous more-or-less serious proposals to address this requirement over the years—here’s a new (?) one

We did it again ! Back in 2008, the Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group released its first Web Compatibility Test for Mobile Browsers that packed 12 (and later, 16) important Web technologies into a single page that would tell you at a glance how well your browser supported them. Fast forward to 2010, the level of support on this first Web compatibility test has tremendously improved, although the browsers that show a fully green grid are still few. But in the meantime, the technologies have also evolved, and while many of them are still not final by any means, it seemed that getting an overview of which of these technologies are available today on what browsers would make a good follow-up to our first test.

Some of you are familiar with the W3C Chairs angels, three home-made bots living in IRC , that are truly essential to the W3C Working Groups conducting their work on the phone: Trackbot, the toolbox, is the bot for creating and tracking issues and action items during meetings. Zakim, the phone, is the bot connecting people on phone, controlling the agenda of meetings, and managing the questions and queue

A small addition has been made on the RDFa distiller service (pyRdfa) : there is now a possibility to upload an XHTML file to be distilled, beyond referring to a URI or copying a text to a text box. This feature has been asked for by several users. Both the upload and the text box alternatives use POST, whereas distilling via URI-s uses GET

A few days ago W3C opened a new wiki on Semantic Web Standards : … It is not the goal of this wiki to supersede other community wikis […] instead it is to provide a “first stop” for more information on Semantic Web technologies, in particular on Semantic Web Standards published by the W3C. Communities around such standards are also welcome to use the Wiki for their purpose The new wiki makes use of Semantic Media Wiki (and thanks to Denny Vrandecic to have helped in setting up things). A good example is the way Semantic Web tools are handled (the structure was greatly inspired by a similar collection on the SemanticWeb.org site).
