2009-12-08 # W3C Invites Implementations of Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0

Members of the W3C Efficient XML Interchange Working Group have issued a call for implementations in connection with the advancement of EXI 1.0 documents to Candidate Recommendation stage. Two key documents include "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0" and "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Primer."

The EXI Working Group plans to submit the EXI specification for consideration as a W3C Proposed Recommendation when the following exit criteria have been met:

• A test suite is available that tests each identified EXI format 1.0 feature, both required and optional.
• At least two implementations, at least one of which is publicly available, have demonstrated interoperability of each feature. The working group will create an implementation report based on gathered evidence and make it available on its group web page.
• The Working Group has responded formally to all issues raised against this document during the Candidate Recommendation review period.
