The W3C is an international industry consortium, created to lead
the web to its full potential by developing common protocols that
promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. The goal of
its latest Recommendation is to facilitate use of the web by all
people, regardless of their language, script, writing system, and
cultural conventions.
The Recommendation gives authors of specifications, software
developers, and content developers a common reference, enabling
interoperable text manipulation on the World Wide Web.
