Worklets are designed to run code with a very limited scope, and so are made available with a by-design very restricted API surface.
Each type of rendering gets its own dedicated API surface, encompassed in a given WorkletScope.

They were developed as part of an effort making various CSS concepts easier to experiment with and polyfill for, known as the Houdini Task Force drafts.css-houdini.org/.
Part of the idea is that it enables anyone to create their own CSS property and values.

The concept is defined in the Worklets spec, jointly developed by the @csswg and the @w3ctag drafts.css-houdini.org/workl… - repo at github.com/w3c/css-houdini-d…

Worklets are a lower-cost way of running code very efficiently as part of the various rendering pipelines of the browser (e.g. while painting, laying out, animating or playing audio) developer.mozilla.org/en-US/…
developers.google.com/web/up… worklets are gonna be a gamechanger.

Yesterday, an intent to ship the Payment Handler API in Blink was posted lists.w3.org/Archives/Public… - so hopefully you'll get to test that API in @ChromiumDev soon!
As reported previously, adoption of payment handler is one of the focus of the @w3payments group in 2018
Beyond this, the 2018 roadmap includes pushing further experimentation with another major work item of the group: Payment Handler w3.org/TR/payment-handler/. That API enables innovation in online payments by facilitating integration of Web sites as payment providers.

This allows a merchant using the Payment Request API to offer Web apps among the accepted payment instruments. (along eg. credit cards & native apps).
If the user picks that instrument, a Service Worker from the said Web app gets spawned and is used to process the payment.

From what I read, they are read as their unicode name - so they have to be used with care, and most importantly, to be avoided e.g. in names. See also cbc.ca/radio/spark/381-the-b…
(wishing them good luck 🤞because if you're familiar with discussions on the color of the 🎨 for the 🚲shed, wait until you see discussions on the color of the pen for the written description of the bikeshed)

The last major design evolution was led by @fantasai and started to be deployed in 2016.
With your input and a bit of luck, maybe this redesign project will bring us further improvements for next year? Good luck to the @JeffersonUniv students who are taking up that challenge!

W3C spec design has evolved a number of times over the years, since its very first Recommendation, PNG in 1996

The Graphics Accessibility API Mapping translates these new roles into the various platform-specific #accessibility APIs w3.org/TR/graphics-aam-1.0/
Feedback in the repo github.com/w3c/graphics-aam/… is sought, including on the correctness of the proposed mappings.

The #ARIA Graphics module adds a few additional recognized roles to help annotate complex graphical content, e.g. labeled diagrams or interactive graphics. w3.org/TR/graphics-aria-1.0/
The ARIA Working Group is seeking feedback in its repo github.com/w3c/graphics-aria… on these new roles.

#ARIA is an #accessibility technology that allows to annotate the DOM of a document to map elements into recognized components for assistive technologies. The current set of roles is pretty widely supported across a number of browsers and assistive tools. w3.org/WAI/ARIA/1.0/CR/imple…
The @W3C has published an updated Working Draft (WD) of the #ARIA Graphics module w3.org/TR/graphics-aria-1.0/
and the associated Graphics Accessibility API Mappings (AAM) w3.org/TR/graphics-aam-1.0/
