WICD Full 1.0

Status of this Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

This is a W3C Candidate Recommendation of WICD Full 1.0. This document is based upon WICD Full 1.0 published on 22 November 2006. The current document contains editorial improvements, and minor changes in response to Last Call comments. The disposition of Last Call comments is available (first last call comments, second last call comments). Changes are summarized in E Changes Log to review changes since the last Working Draft.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

The Compound Document by Reference Framework (CDRF) 1.0, Web Integration Compound Document Core 1.0 (WICD Core), WICD Mobile 1.0 and WICD Full 1.0 profiles have dependencies on the following documents:

Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification
Cascading Style Sheets, Mobile Profile 2.0
Window Object 1.0
XMLHttpRequest Object

The Compound Document Format Working Group will advance the CDRF 1.0, WICD Core 1.0, WICD Mobile 1.0 and WICD Full 1.0 profiles to Proposed Recommendation no sooner than 01 September 2007; the Working Group estimates that by 01 December 2007 the following exit criteria have been met:

the dependent documents must have reached CR status;
there are at least two implementations of CDRF, WICD Core, WICD Mobile and WICD Full enabled user agents, and at least one of which is on the target platform (at least one must be for a Desktop environment);
each individual test case in the test suite shall be passed by at least two implementations.

It is not required, as a condition to exit CR, that a single implementation passes all CDRF and WICD profile test cases. Once CDRF and WICD reach Recommendation status, however, implementations should aim for 100% compliance.

Implementation results will be released publicly. These results are only serving as proof of CDRF and WICD profiles implementability. They are only a snap shot of the actual implementation behaviors at one moment of time and should not be construed as describing the conformance status of implementations at any later date.

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. Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

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.

1 Introduction

(This section is informative)

The WICD Full 1.0 profile is designed to enable rich multimedia content on desktop and high capability handheld agents. These are agents with:

wide screens (supporting more than 40 characters per line)
a pointing device

2 WICD Profile and Compound Document by Reference Framework Compliance

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement the conformance criteria from WICD Mobile 1.0 profile in addition to the Profile Requirements listed in this document.

WICD Full 1.0 is a superset of WICD Mobile 1.0.

WICD Mobile 1.0 is based upon WICD Core 1.0 and CDRF 1.0.

The following illustration shows the relation between these specifications.

Shows the relation between WICD and CDRF documents

3 Profile Requirements

3.1 XHTML 1.1

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML as the root document.

3.2 ECMAScript 3rd Edition

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support ECMAScript 3rd Edition as a scripting language.

3.3 CSS 2.1

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 [CSS21] specification.

3.4 SVG Tiny 1.2

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Scalable Vector Graphics Tiny 1.2 [SVGT12] specification.

3.5 User Agent Identification

When declaring support for WICD Full 1.0, a conforming user agent should use an "Accept" header with the value:

application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2007/wicd"

Future versions of the WICD Full profile, which are compatible with WICD Full 1.0, must use the same profile string, using the same format, but with a later date.

3.6 Document Object Model (DOM)

In addition to the DOM requirements of [WICD Mobile 1.0], conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support:

[Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification]
/TR/200

[Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification]
[Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Specification]
[Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Style Sheets and CSS]

3.7 XMLHttpRequest

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support the XMLHttpRequest Object.

A Definitions

The terms used in this document are specified in Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0.

B Conformance

This specification defines conformance for several classes of products:

User agent
Content

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 (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt). However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

At times, this specification recommends good practice for authors and user agents. These recommendations are not normative and conformance with this specification does not depend on their realization. These recommendations contain the expression "We recommend ...", "This specification recommends ...", or some similar wording.

WICD Full 1.0 User Agent Conformance:

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement the Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0 (CDRF 1.0) including the extended DOM API's and additional Events.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement WICD Core 1.0.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement WICD Mobile 1.0.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML as root document.

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support the Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 [CSS21] specification.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support the Scalable Vector Graphics Tiny 1.2 [SVGT12] specification.
When declaring support for WICD Full 1.0, a conforming user agent should use an "Accept" header with the value: application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2007/wicd".
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Specification.
Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support the XMLHttpRequest Object.
