Packaging and Offline Use

●
HTML5 App cache is widely deployed
However, the community has concluded it
does not address enough use cases later moved
to the Web Applications Working Group.
Discussions started in the Fixing Application
Cache Community Group
–
That group has recently begun work on use cases
for the next generation of App Cache and a
JSON-based packaging format
Performance
●
●
●
●
●
For some applications, developers turn to native for
high performance
Developers surveyed earlier this year indicated "they
are optimistic and think it’s just a matter of time for
[Web] run-times to meet their needs”
W3C proposed to recharter the group with a new
set of priorities discussed at the November 2012
Workshop on Web Performance
Performance Task Force, part of Headlights 2013, is
taking a look at performance beyond individual
specifications

Payments

Open Web Platform does not yet offer standard
ways to transfer money, demonstrate proof-ofpurchase, and meet other payment needs
Without a standard, developers are forced to turn
to native platforms, or use solutions that work for
one service provider but not another
Web Payments Community Group
Payments Task Force for Headlights 2013 is
looking at opportunities and challenges for Webbased payments
HTML5 Extension Specifications

Many W3C Working Groups create test suites (for
instance, as part of Candidate Recommendation),
but more is needed.
W3C has launched a comprehensive test program
for the Open Web Platform
Test the Web Forward event
Create a common infrastructure for W3C groups
and foster community so that it is easier to write
and submit tests, run tests, display results,
understand where tests are needed, and prioritize
test development.
