1 Introduction

(This section is informative)

The WICD Full 1.0 profile is designed to enable rich multimedia content on desktop and high capability handheld agents. These are agents with:

2 WICD Profile and Compound Document by Reference Framework Compliance

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement the conformance criteria from WICD Mobile 1.0 profile in addition to the Profile Requirements listed in this document. WICD Full 1.0 is a superset of WICD Mobile 1.0. WICD Mobile 1.0 is based upon WICD Core 1.0 and CDRF 1.0.

The following illustration shows the relation between these specifications.

Shows the relation between WICD and CDRF documents

3 Profile Requirements

3.1 XHTML 1.1

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML as the root document.

3.2 ECMAScript 3rd Edition

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support ECMAScript 3rd Edition as a scripting language.

3.3 CSS 2.1

Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 [CSS21] specification.

3.5 User Agent Identification

When declaring support for WICD Full 1.0, a conforming user agent should use an "Accept" header with the value:

application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/12/wicd"

Future versions of the WICD Full profile, which are compatible with WICD Full 1.0, must use the same profile string, using the same format, but with a later date. (Example: application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2007/06/wicd")

A Definitions

The terms used in this document are specified in Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0.

B Conformance

This specification defines conformance for several classes of products:

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "may", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt). However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

At times, this specification recommends good practice for authors and user agents. These recommendations are not normative and conformance with this specification does not depend on their realization. These recommendations contain the expression "We recommend ...", "This specification recommends ...", or some similar wording.

WICD Full 1.0 User Agent Conformance:

  1. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement the Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0 (CDRF 1.0) including the extended DOM API's and additional Events.

  2. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement WICD Core 1.0.

  3. WICD Full 1.0 is a superset of WICD Mobile 1.0.

  4. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must implement WICD Mobile 1.0.

  5. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML as root document.

  6. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support ECMAScript 3rd Edition as a scripting language.

  7. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support the Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 [CSS21] specification.

  8. When declaring support for WICD Full 1.0, a conforming user agent should use an "Accept" header with the value: application/xhtml+xml; profile="http://www.w3.org/2005/12/wicd".

  9. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

  10. Conformant WICD Full 1.0 user agents must support Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification.
