Hi, CDF folks-
While we had hoped that more implementations might emerge that passed
the CDF and WICD test suites [1], such that these specifications would
meet the criteria as W3C Recommendations, it does not seem that this
will happen in a reasonable timeframe. Despite good partial
implementation experience, implementers have not show sufficient
interest to justify further investment of W3C resources into this group,
even at a background level.
In order to clarify the status of the CDF WG specifications, including
Compound Document by Reference Framework 1.0 [2], Web Integration
Compound Document (WICD) Core 1.0 [3], WICD Mobile 1.0 [4], and WICD
Full 1.0 [5], all in Candidate Recommendation phase since July 2007, we
have decided to publish them as Working Group Notes instead, and to
close the Compound Document Formats Working Group.
