The SVG Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft and one Working Draft.

SVG Paths is a specification that defines a syntax and DOM representation for paths, which are shapes that can be rendered in a document. Paths are primarily used for rendering shapes using the SVG ‘path’ element, but are also used by a number of other Web platform features, such as clipping paths and rendering in an HTML ‘canvas’.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2 is a specification that defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Version 2. SVG is a language based on XML for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions, and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create interactive documents, and animations can be performed using declarative animation features or by using script.

The Protocols and Formats Working Group, in coordination with the Digital Publishing Interest Group, published a First Public Working Draft of Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0. This specification extends WAI-ARIA 1.1 to define an ontology of roles, states, and properties specific to digital publishing. It facilitates automated processing and accessibility support by providing semantics that are not included in base languages such as HTML. It allows authors to convey structural information to assistive technologies, and to enable semantic navigation, styling, and interactive features used by readers. More information is available in the blog post “ARIA and DPUB publish FPWD”. Learn more about the the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the Digital Publishing Activity.

The CSS Working Group and the SVG Working Group have published a working draft of Web Animations. This specification defines a model for synchronization and timing of changes to the presentation of a Web page. It also defines an application programming interface for interacting with this model and it is expected that further specifications will define declarative means for exposing these features.

The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of CSS Basic User Interface Module Level 3 (CSS3 UI). This specification describes user interface related properties and values that are proposed for CSS level 3 to style HTML and XML (including XHTML). It includes and extends user interface related features from the properties and values of CSS level 2 revision 1. It uses various properties and values to style basic user interface elements in a document. Learn more about the Style Activity.
