This week: W3C CEO on after HTML5, #bbd14, @W3C-PO protocol droid, No CAPTCHA ReCAPTCHA, etc.

This is the 28 November - 5 December 2014 edition of a "weekly digest of W3C news and trends" that I prepare for the W3C Membership and public-w3c-digest mailing list (publicly archived). This digest aggregates information about W3C and W3C technology from online media —a snapshot of how W3C and its work is perceived in online media.
