The   Federated Identity Working Group   has published a First Public Working Draft of   Federated Credential Management API , a Web Platform API that allows users to login to websites with their federated accounts in a privacy preserving manner.

30 January 2018 The  Web Platform Working Group  has published a W3C Recommendation of the  Indexed Database API 2.0  specification. The Indexed Database API 2.0 specification defines APIs for a database of records holding simple values and hierarchical objects. Each record consists of a key and some value. Moreover, the database maintains indexes over records it stores. An application developer directly uses an API to locate records either by their key or by using an index. A query language can be layered on this API. An indexed database can be implemented using a persistent B-tree data structure.
