W3C Sets New Standard for Internationalized Web Content

The World Wide Web Consortium today released Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. Creators of XML content can use the ITS set of elements and attributes to prepare schemas and documents for localization and to internationalize them for a global audience. "Working with document formats internationally becomes much easier, whether you are creating a new schema or working with an established one," said Richard Ishida (W3C). Implementations provided for DTDs, XML Schema and Relax NG, can be used with new or existing vocabularies like XHTML, DocBook, and OpenDocument.
