This document specifies WICD (Core/Full) 2.0, a Compound Document profile based on XHTML, CSS, SVG and XForms, which is targeted at desktop agents.
Compound Document is the W3C term for a document that combines multiple formats.
WICD stands for Web Integration Compound Document.
In early development of the CDI WICD profiles, it will be done in one document. Then split into appropriate documents: core and full profile.

This document has been produced by the Compound Document Formats Working Group as part of the Rich Web Clients Activity within the W3C Interaction Domain.
This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

This section is informative.
Combining content delivery formats can often be desirable in order to provide a seamless experience to the user.
For example, XHTML-formatted content can be augmented by SVG objects, to create a more dynamic, interactive and self adjusting presentation.
A set of standard rules is required in order to provide this capability across a range of user agents and devices.
These are examples of Compound Documents:
This document defines a generic language-independent processing model for combining arbitrary document formats.
The Compound Document Framework is language-independent. While it is clearly meant to serve as the basis for integrating W3C's family of XML formats within its Interaction Domain (e.g., MathML, SMIL, SVG, VoiceXML, XForms, XHTML, XSL) with each other, together with CSS and the DOM; it can also be used to integrate non-W3C formats with W3C formats or integrate non-W3C formats with other non-W3C formats.
Everying in this specification is normative except for diagrams, examples, notes and sections marked non-normative.
The key words must, must not, required, shall, shall not, should, should not, recommended, may and optional in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
This specification defines the following classes of products:
WICD Core is the foundation of rich multimedia content and describes rules for combining Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) and scalable child objects, such as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in a non device specific manner. WICD (pronounced "wicked") is an acronym for Web Integrated Compound Document.
WICD builds upon CDRF 1.0 and CDIF 2.0.
Profiles designed to enable rich multimedia content on a variety of devices such as: mobile handset devices, dekstop-type agents, and others.
WICD 2.0 profiles will require both CDI and CDR integration. There will be no CDI only profiles.
Fill in references and text to profile contents
Conformant WICD Full 2.0 by Inclusion user agents must support XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML as a root document and language.
Conformant WICD Full 2.0 by Inclusion user agents must support XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML as a child language.
XHTML documents authored for the WICD Full 2.0 by
Inclusion profile should be associated with the
"application/xhtml+xml" mime type.
Conformant WICD Full 2.0 by Inclusion user agents must support Scalable Vector Graphics Tiny 1.2 [SVGT12] specification as a child language.
Per Hamburg07F2F, this profile will be the CDI version of the WICD work from CDR, therefore causing new items like XForms and SMIL Timing to fall to a new profile.
Conformant WICD Full 2.0 by Inclusion user agents must support XForms 1.1 [XFORMS11] specification as a child language.
Conformant WICD Full 2.0 by Inclusion user agents must support SMIL Timing Module [SMILTIME] specification as a child language.
