W3C Invites Implementations of Digital Signatures for Widgets; 'view-mode' Media Feature

The Web Applications Working Group invites implementation of two Candidate Recommendations: Digital Signatures for Widgets and The 'view-mode' Media Feature. The first defines a profile of the XML Signature Syntax and Processing 1.1 specification to allow a widget package to be digitally signed. Widget authors and distributors can digitally sign widgets as a mechanism to ensure continuity of authorship and distributorship; follow the implementation report. The second specification defines a media feature to match the different visual presentation modes that can be applied to web applications and thereby apply different styling based on these different modes using CSS Media Queries; follow the implementation report.
