"Shaping the Future of HTML"

Position Papers

This page lists the position papers we have received as input to the W3C workshop on 4th and 5th May 1998 on the future of HTML. W3C is running the workshop to set directions for further work on the future of HTML. The workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency near to San Francisco Airport. We will add links to speaker slides after the workshop.
