The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group invites implementations of the WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers Candidate Recommendation. This document defines a set of ECMAScript APIs in WebIDL to allow media to be sent to and received from another browser or device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols. This specification is being developed in conjunction with a protocol specification developed by the IETF RTCWEB group and an API specification to get access to local media devices developed by the Media Capture Task Force. Read more in our media advisory about how WebRTC becoming design-complete strengthens the Web Platform as a solid actor in the telecommunications arena.

The Web Platform Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of HTML 5.2. This specification defines the 5th major version, second minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features continue to be introduced to help Web application authors, new elements continue to be introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention continues to be given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability. Comments are welcome through 30 November 2017.

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has published Proposed Recommendations of Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0 and Digital Publishing Accessibility API Mappings. DPub-ARIA defines a WAI-ARIA module encompassing an ontology of roles, states and properties specific to the digital publishing industry. This allows an author to convey user interface behaviors and structural information to assistive technologies and to enable semantic navigation, styling and interactive features used by readers. User agent implementation to date is shown in the DPub-ARIA implementation report and DPub-AAM implementation report. Comments are welcome through 30 November 2017.

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has published Proposed Recommendations of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.1 and Core Accessibility API Mappings 1.1. WAI-ARIA recommends approaches for developers to make widgets, navigation, and behaviors accessible to people with disabilities. WAI-ARIA 1.1 adds features new since WAI-ARIA 1.0 to complete the HTML + ARIA accessibility model and supports additional modules for digital publishing and graphics. User agent implementation to date is shown in the WAI-ARIA implementation report and Core-AAM implementation report. Comments are welcome through 30 November 2017.
