    Submission:

    The Colloquial Web group evaluates existing practices amongst core web
    technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It aims to provide users and
    vendors with clear guidelines for deployment and innovation for web
    applications. Example problem domains include continued use of deprecated
    constructs, the rise in external services for hosting solutions such as Google
    Web Fonts or MathJax, and comparing attitudes to RDFa and microdata.

    The group will not produce languages, but may for example create profiles of
    weighted technique matrices. In other words, more broadly speaking the group
    has a bias towards empirical and descriptivist methods, but is not constrained
    to these approaches.

    Revision:

    The Colloquial Web group evaluates existing practices amongst core web
    technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It aims to give users and
    vendors clear reports on deployment and innovation for web applications.
    Example problem domains include continued use of deprecated constructs, the
    rise in external services for hosting solutions such as Google Web Fonts or
    MathJax, and comparing attitudes to RDFa and Microdata.

    The group researches the relationship between emerging social practices as
    regards existing technologies and their standards. A central research goal is
    to study and contribute to changing perceptions of conformance. Though broadly
    speaking the group has a bias towards empirical and descriptivist methods, it
    is not constrained to these approaches. It will not for example produce
    languages, but may create profiles of weighted technique matrices.
