Technical Reports & Publications
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.
As new issues arise from Members, resources are reallocated to new areas
to ensure that W3C remains focused on topics most critical to the Web's
interoperability and growth.
The following W3C Recommendations have been issued; signifying that the
specifications are stable, contribute to Web interoperability, and are supported
for industry-wide adoption by the W3C Membership.
