Authoring Techniques for XHTML & HTML Internationalization: Characters and Encodings 1.0 has been published as a Working Group Note. The Internationalization Working Group
discontinued work on this guide to provide HTML authors with techniques
for developing internationalized HTML, to consider character encoding
when producing web pages, and to understand how to choose and declare
encodings, how and when to use character escapes, etc. Learn more about

W3C Launches Web of Things initiative
W3C announced on 21 January 2015 a new Web of Things initiative
to develop Web standards for enabling open markets of applications and
services based upon connected sensors and actuators (the Internet of
Things) and the Web of data. Open standards will be essential to
realising the huge potential. We invite you to join the new Web of Things Interest Group
and drive work on use cases, requirements, and best practices. The aim
is to build a shared vision and identify specific opportunities for
standardization.
So far work on the Internet of Things has focused on the sensors and actuators and the associated communication technologies. Comparatively little attention has been given to what is needed for services to break free of today’s product silos. Web technologies are considered to be very promising, including the role of scripting languages like JavaScript for defining services. However, there is considerable work left to do to support discovery and interoperation of services, along with attention to security, privacy, accessibility and resilience in the face of faults and attacks.
The potential if we get this right is huge and will greatly expand the scale of the Web.
