XML News from Monday, July 26, 2004

The W3C Privacy Activity has posted the third public working draft of the Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.1 (P3P1.1) Specification. "P3P 1.1 is based on the P3P 1.0 Recommendation and adds some features using the P3P 1.0 Extension mechanism. It also contains a new binding mechanism that can be used to bind policies for XML Applications beyond HTTP transactions." New features in P3P 1.1 include a mechanism to name and group statements together so user agents can organize the summary display of those policies and a generic means of binding P3P Policies to arbitrary XML to support XForms, WSDL, and other XML applications.
