WebAI/Technology status
WEBAI · STANDARDS WATCH · DATED SNAPSHOT

Published technology is not always a standard

Compare document statuses as of 12 November 2026: W3C Recommendation, draft, project specification or research. Versions change; consult the official source.

Why make the distinction?

A Candidate Recommendation Draft is part of the W3C standards process but is not a final Recommendation. A W3C Community Group report is not a W3C Standard. A project specification can be open and useful without being a W3C Standard.
