Technical Specifications

Web-related Specifications

The <urn:x-suika-fam-cx:> Namespace (2001〜2007)
A specification that defines the syntax of the urn:x-suika-fam-cx: URN NID and its name assignment process, as well as an RDF/XML-based language for marking up the definition of names defined in the namespace. There is an Ajax implementation.
DOM Document Type Definition Module (2007〜2008)
A specification that defines a manakai extension to DOM for manipulating document type definitions, which can be used, for example, to generate XML DTD from a program. It is implemented by manakai.
Selectors Serialization Format for Testing (SSFT) Specification (2007)
A specification that defines a serialization canonical format of the Selectors language for the purpose of testing of tools. It is implemented and used by Whatpm.
SuikaWiki Markup Language (SWML) (2008〜2010)
This specification defines SuikaWiki Markup Language (SWML). SWML is the markup language developed and implemented for SuikaWiki hypertext system.
manakai's Conformance Checking Guideline for Obsolete HTML Elements and Attributes (2010)
This specification defines authors' requirements for historical HTML elements and attributes, which are not defined in the Web Applications 1.0 specification or listed but marked as obsolete, such that conformance checkers can find authoring errors against these requirements. Use of such non-conforming elements and attributes are sometimes necessary for compatibility with legacy or Galápagos user agents and/or historical authoring practices. A conformance checker that reports a non‐conforming elements and attributes just as non-conforming is not useful enough to ease authoring processes in such legacy circumstances. The scope of this specification is explicitly limited to the conformance checking of documents (or parts of documents) that contains obsolete elements and attributes for the purpose of comaptibility. This specification is developed as part of the manakai project. Although it might be useful to other parties, the only intended audiences of this specification are contributors of the project. This specification does not define or describe any kind of standard.

Translations of Specifications

Translations of RFCs (2002〜2003)
Japanese translations of RFCs related to Internet message formats.
Translated texts are marked up as well as the original text by an XML-based language, which is an extension of the RFC 2629's RFC markup language for including both original and translated texts and then translated into HTML by an XSLT style sheet.
Introduction to Web Forms 2.0 repeating form control model (2006)
A Japanese translation of the section that introduces the repeating form control model in Web Forms 2.0 specification.
HTML 5 and Web Workers (2008, one of co‐translators)
Japanese translations of HTML5 specifications. A new interactive interface and tools for translation works has been developed by Wakaba. Since the HTML5 specification adopts a new specification development model, it is unrealistic to follow the traditional model for the development of a Japanese translation of a technical specification. The new tools enable a new style of works, i.e. use of an interactive Web interfaces, paragraph-level editing, and automatic synchronization with the original specification text.
Language used for tools: Perl5, JavaScript
