The CSS Working Group invites implementations of CSS Display Module Level 3 Candidate Recommendation. This module describes how the CSS formatting box tree is generated from the document element tree and defines the ‘display’ property that controls it.
CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of two updated Candidate Recommendations of CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 3 and CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 4. The CSS module defined in these documents describes how to collate style rules and assign values to all properties on all elements. By way of cascading and inheritance, values are propagated for all properties on all elements. New in the Level 4 are the ‘revert’ keyword and <supports-condition> for the ‘@import’ rule.

The Devices and Sensors Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of Geolocation Sensor. This specification defines the GeolocationSensor interface for obtaining geolocation of the hosting device.
The CSS Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of CSS Fonts Module Level 3. This CSS3 module describes how font properties are specified and how font resources are loaded dynamically. The contents of this specification are a consolidation of content previously divided into CSS3 Fonts and CSS3 Web Fonts modules. The description of font load events was moved into the CSS Font Loading module.
Comments are welcome through 11 September 2018.
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of two updated Candidate Recommendations of CSS Scroll Snap Module Level 1 and CSS Values and Units Module Level 3, and has just published CSS Values and Units Module Level 4 as a First Public Working Draft.
The CSS Scroll Snap Module contains features to control panning and scrolling behavior with “snap positions”. The CSS module, defined in the CSS Values and Units Module Level 3 and Level 4, describes the common values and units that CSS properties accept and the syntax used for describing them in CSS property definitions. See changes in Level 3 and Level 4.

The Timed Text Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of Timed Text Markup Language 2 (TTML2). This document specifies the Timed Text Markup Language (TTML), Version 2, also known as TTML2, in terms of a vocabulary and semantics thereof.
The Timed Text Markup Language is a content type that represents timed text media for the purpose of interchange among authoring systems. Timed text is textual information that is intrinsically or extrinsically associated with timing information.
It is intended to be used for the purpose of transcoding or exchanging timed text information among legacy distribution content formats presently in use for subtitling and captioning functions.
In addition to being used for interchange among legacy distribution content formats, TTML Content may be used directly as a distribution format, for example, providing a standard content format to reference from a <track> element in an [HTML 5.2] document, or a <text> or <textstream> media element in a [SMIL 3.0] document.
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of a Candidate Recommendation of CSS Painting API Level 1, an API for allowing web developers to define a custom CSS with javascript, which will respond to style and size changes. See EXPLAINER.
The Timed Text Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of Timed Text Markup Language 1 (TTML1) (Third Edition). This document specifies Timed Text Markup Language (TTML), Version 1, also known as TTML1, in terms of a vocabulary and semantics thereof.

W3C has published a new version of its Roadmap of Web Applications on Mobile, an overview of the various technologies developed in W3C that increase the capabilities of Web applications, and how they apply more specifically to the mobile context.
The contents of the roadmap have been updated to follow the evolution of the Web platform since April 2018. See the Change history for details. Most of these updates focused on mechanisms that allow mobile web applications to tweak performance settings and gain finer-grained control over the browser’s default behavior. In particular, new exploratory work and technologies in progress mentioned in the Performance and Tuning page include:
contain property to indicate that an element’s subtree is independent of the rest of the page,overscroll-behavior property to control the behavior of a scroll container when its scrollport reaches the boundary of its scroll box,The roadmap did not mention WebDriver, recently published as a W3C Recommendation, a key technology for mobile web developers as it enables automated testing across browsers and devices. This was an oversight, fixed in this new version.
The implementation info rendered in tables now also embeds information from the MDN Browser Compatibility Data project. A new “partial” badge also indicates that an implementation may be incomplete, either because it is, or because implementation data is not complete enough to assess support of the entire specification.
Sponsored by Beihang University, this project is part of a set of roadmaps under development in a GitHub repository to document existing standards, highlight ongoing standardization efforts, point out topics under incubation, and discuss technical gaps that may need to be addressed in the future. New versions will be published on a quarterly basis, or as needed depending on progress of key technologies of the Web platform. We encourage the community to review them and raise comments, or suggest new ones, in the repository’s issue tracker.
The SVG Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 2. This specification defines the features and syntax for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Version 2. SVG is a language based on XML for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions, and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create interactive documents, and animations can be performed using declarative animation features or by using script. This version of SVG builds upon SVG 1.1 Second Edition by improving the usability and precision of the language. The Changes appendix lists all of the changes that have been made since SVG 1.1 Second Edition.
The Web Authentication Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials Level 1. This specification defines an API enabling the creation and use of strong, attested, scoped, public key-based credentials by web applications, for the purpose of strongly authenticating users. Conceptually, one or more public key credentials, each scoped to a given WebAuthn Relying Party, are created and stored on an authenticator by the user agent in conjunction with the web application. The user agent mediates access to public key credentials in order to preserve user privacy. Authenticators are responsible for ensuring that no operation is performed without user consent. Authenticators provide cryptographic proof of their properties to Relying Parties via attestation. This specification also describes the functional model for WebAuthn conformant authenticators, including their signature and attestation functionality.
