The Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group has published two updated Working Drafts for Personalization Semantics Explainer 1.0 and Personalization Semantics Content Module 1.0 and two First Public Working Drafts (FPWD) for Personalization Help and Support 1.0 and Personalization Tools 1.0 in total 4 documents from Personalization Task Force.
