W3C Updates
SOAP-JMS Binding Working Group has been created
Description: The proposed charter for the SOAP-JMS Binding Working Group has been created. The mission of the SOAP-JMS Binding Working Group is to produce a W3C Recommendation for how SOAP should bind to a transport that supports the Java™ Message Service (JMS) api by refining the "SOAP over Java™ Message Service 1.0" Member Submission. In the case of SOAP 1.2 this binding must use the SOAP Protocol Binding Framework defined by the XML Protocol Working Group.

Web Services Core Working Group will not be approved by the Director
Description: The proposed charter for the Web Services Core Working Group will not be approved by the Director, due to its incompatibilities with the W3C Patent Policy. Maintenance of existing W3C Recommendations in Web Services will be accomplished through ad-hoc Groups.
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group has published three documents
Description: The Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Working Group has published three documents: First Public Working Drafts of EXI Best Practices and EXI Primer, as well as a Working Draft of EXI Format 1.0. EXI is a very compact representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the utilization of computational resources. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event streams. The primer and best practices documents complement the format specification. The best practices document also presents information suitable for the general reader interested in EXI's intended role in the expanding Web.
