Last Call: XQuery Update Facility 3.0

The XML Query Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of XQuery Update Facility 3.0. This document defines an update facility that extends the XML Query language, XQuery. The XQuery Update Facility 3.0 provides expressions that can be used to make persistent changes to instances of the XQuery and XPath Data Model 3.0. Comments are welcome through 19 March.

W3C Invites Implementations of XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.1

Today the XSLT Working Group and the XML Query Working Group jointly published a Candidate Recommendation for, and invite implementations of, XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.1. The serialization specification defines output methods in XML, HTML, plain or formatted text and JSON. The specification returned to Working Draft to add an Adaptive serialization closer to industry practice for ad-hoc formatting of results. An extensive test suite is available.

W3C Invites Implementations of Content Security Policy Level 2

The Web Application Security Working Group has published a Candidate Recommendation of Content Security Policy Level 2. This specification updates Content Security Policy, fine-tuning the existing policy options, and introducing a number of new mechanisms that site authors can use to mitigate the risk of content injection and related attacks. Major differences from Content Security Policy Level 1 may be found in Section 1.1 of the document.
