Today W3C and JTC 1, a joint technical committee of ISO and IEC, announced formal approval of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 as an ISO/IEC International Standard, ISO/IEC 40500. "This important accessibility standard, which is already widely deployed internationally, can now benefit from additional formal recognition from ISO/IEC national bodies," noted Jeff Jaffe, W3C CEO. "Such recognition is expected to increase internationally harmonized uptake of WCAG 2.0 by governments, business, and the broader Web community."ISO/IEC 40500 is exactly the same as the original WCAG 2.0 Standard from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). Supporting resources that provide practical advice for meeting ISO/IEC 40500 / WCAG 2.0 are freely available from the WCAG Overview.

 The Browser Testing and Tools Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of WebDriver. This specification defines the WebDriver API, a platform-and language-neutral interface that allows programs or scripts to introspect into, and control the behaviour of, a web browser. The WebDriver API is primarily intended to allow developers to write tests that automate a browser from a separate controlling process, but may also be implemented in such a way as to allow in-browser scripts to control a browser.
