Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Profile for limiting usage of dynamic memory is a W3C Recommendation
9 September 2014 | Archive
The EXI Working Group published the
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Profile for limiting usage of dynamic memory as W3C Recommendation. EXI 1.0 is a very efficient format to represent an XML Information Set. It is highly customizable to fit the need of diverse use cases, ranging from B2B applications down to embedded-systems use. It satisfies compactness and processing efficiency requirements, while preserving all the information contained in the XML InfoSet. As a representation of XML, it is by design naturally extensible.
EXI is able to handle deviation or extensions from the Schema in use very efficiently thanks to its self-augmenting grammar system. However, This sometimes poses a challenge for low-memory systems, such as sensors and microcontrollers, embedded in power grids, vehicles, or other small devices.
This EXI Profile addresses this issue by permitting applications to define profiles that are interoperable and best suit systems memory constraints, while maintaining its full extensibility.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3
9 September 2014 | Archive
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3. CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. This draft contains the features of CSS level 3 relating to borders and backgrounds. It includes and extends the functionality of CSS level 2, which builds on CSS level 1. The main extensions compared to level 2 are borders consisting of images, boxes with multiple backgrounds, boxes with rounded corners and boxes with shadows. This module replaces two earlier drafts: CSS3 Backgrounds and CSS3 Border. Learn more about the Style Activity.
