Positive feedback is always a good thing. And thanks to feedback received and extensive implementation work, W3C has announced that they have published eight new standards in their XML Family. The new standards will play a large role in connecting databases with the Web and they “will support the ability to query, transform, and access XML data and documents.”

The three main standards are XML Query, XSLT 2.0 and XSLT 1.0. What are they all about? In a nutshell, XQuery lets you mine data from memos to messages, and everything in between, and XSLT 2.0 brings increased functionality to the already deployed XSLT 1.0, which lets you transform and apply visual style to XML data documents.

Its hard to believe, but it was 10 years ago, on the 17th of December 1996, that the W3C published the first standard for style on the Web: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), level 1.

To celebrate this tenth anniversary, W3C is inviting world wide web developers to submit their most prodigious CSS designs to the CSS10 Gallery.

The Microsoft Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC 2005) is in full swing. There’s more news than a body can keep up with, but this is one piece that the CMSWire audience is surely tuned to.

Its Billy’s turn to put on the mantle of Enterprise Content Management.
