W3C recommendation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (458 words) |
 | A W3C Recommendation is the final stage of a ratification process of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working group concerning the standard. |
 | A Recommendation may be updated by separately-published Errata until enough substantial edits accumulate, at which time a new edition of the Recommendation may be produced (e.g., XML is now in its third edition). |
 | W3C also publishes various kinds of informative Notes which are not intended to be treated as standards. |

 | Starting in 1997, W3C created regional offices around the world; as of May 2006 it has sixteen World Offices covering Australia, the Benelux countries (the Netherlands, Luxemburg, and Belgium), Mainland China, Finland, Germany and Austria, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan Korea, Morocco, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. |
 | A Recommendation may be updated by separately published Errata until enough substantial edits accumulate, at which time a new edition of the Recommendation may be produced (e.g., XML is now in its fourth edition). |
 | A certification program is a process which has benefits and drawbacks; the W3C has decided, for now, that it is not suitable to start such a program without the risk of creating more drawbacks for the community than benefits. |
