| Specifications developed within W3C must be formally approved by the Membership. Consensus is reached after a specification has proceeded through the review stages of Working Draft, Proposed Recommendation, and Recommendation. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) publishes several types of technical reports: - Notes
A Note is a dated, public record of an idea, comment, or document. A Note does not represent commitment by W3C to pursue work related to the Note.
- Working Drafts
A Working Draft represents work in progress and a commitment by W3C to pursue work in this area. A Working Draft does not imply consensus by a group or W3C.
- Candidate Recommendations
A Candidate Recommendation is work that has received significant review from its immediate technical community. It is an explicit call to those outside of the related Working Groups or the W3C itself for implementation and technical feedback.
- Proposed Recommendations
A Proposed Recommendation is work that (1) represents consensus within the group that produced it and (2) has been proposed by the Director to the Advisory Committee for review.
- Recommendations
A Recommendation is work that represents consensus within W3C and has the Director's stamp of approval. W3C considers that the ideas or technology specified by a Recommendation are appropriate for widespread deployment and promote W3C's mission.
However, navigating the W3C web site is not always as user-friendly as one would expect, and sometimes it can be difficult to locate the important information amongst the many different documents available on the W3C site. Therefore, we provide the following set of documents, that are important for the day-to-day operations of any XML developer, directly within the XMLSpy web site:
XML 1.0 (4th Ed.)
XML 1.1 (2nd Ed.)
XSLT 1.0
XSLT 2.0
XSL 1.1 (XSL:FO)
XQuery 1.0
XPath 1.0
XInclude 1.0
XPointer 1.0
Namespaces
XML Schema 0 (2nd Ed.)
XML Schema 1 (2nd Ed.)
XML Schema 2 (2nd Ed.)
SOAP 1.1
WSDL 1.1
P3P 1.0
We are periodically updating these documents to reflect the latest versions of the W3C specifications. Please feel free to link to these specifications from your site.
