The Devices and Sensors Working Group has just published a Proposed Recommendation of Geolocation API, which provides access to geographical location information associated with the hosting device. Comments are welcome through 5 May 2022.

The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Region Capture. This document introduces an API for cropping a video track derived from display-capture of the current browsing context.

The CSS Working Group has proposed corrections to the W3C Recommendation of Media Queries Level 3. HTML4 and CSS2 currently support media-dependent style sheets tailored for different media types. For example, a document may use sans-serif fonts when displayed on a screen and serif fonts when printed. ‘screen’ and ‘print’ are two media types that have been defined. Media queries extend the functionality of media types by allowing more precise labeling of style sheets.

A media query consists of a media type and zero or more expressions that check for the conditions of particular media features. Among the media features that can be used in media queries are ‘width’, ‘height’, and ‘color’. By using media queries, presentations can be tailored to a specific range of output devices without changing the content itself.

Comments, including implementation experience, are welcome via GitHub through 6 June 2022.
