  3. W3C Work on Web APIs

    Session shepherds:

    Ashok Malhotra, John Kemp

    Background:

    Traditionally, most of the W3C's Recommendations have focused on data formats such as HTML, identification mechanisms such as URI's, etc. With the rise of AJAX, JavaScript and similar APIs have become an increasingly important aspect of content and application development for the Web, and W3C is considering at least one proposal to charter work on the standardization of such APIs.

    The TAG has also had some informal discussionts (see thread starting with email from Thomas Roessler) of Geolocation APIs and the Geopriv work.

    Session goals:

    Preparation:

  4. Language Versioning and HTML

    Session shepherds:

    Jonathan Rees, Larry Masinter

    Background:

    The TAG has for years studied the means used to evolve document and programming languages, and techniques for maximizing interoperability as languages evolve. We have also considered the structure and evolution of HTML in particular, including the tradeoffs between "tag soup" and XHTML views of robustness and error handling. This session is scheduled because some TAG members have recently proposed that we may be able to apply our analyses of language versioning to HTML in particular.

  12. Web Architecture for Applications

    Background:

    At the F2F session on June 23, 2009, the TAG decided to consider the possibility of a significant enhancement to the Web Architecture document, to focus on the Web as an application platform. This might be in the form of revisions to the existing Web arch document and/or become a second volume.

    A rough outline of a table of contents has been written on a white board:

    • Declarative vs. procedural
    • APIs
    • Modules and dependencies
    • Security - trust boundaries
    • Privacy (including cross-site issues)
    • Client-side URIs

    No specific discussion time is allocated to the following, but we may choose to discuss these in some of the free time slots.
