The objective of the Powerful API Design Task Force is to congregate a select team of individuals to compile a set of principles for the creation and implementation of powerful APIs on the web. This document will contain explanations of essential concepts related to powerful APIs, enabling us to adopt a consistent language as we collaborate on these web technologies.

The endeavor will approach the topic of powerful APIs from a web architecture perspective, aligning with the TAG's Ethical Principles, Design Principles, the in-development Privacy Principles and the Privacy & Security Questionnaire.

This venture will function as a TAG-endorsed task force. Participants will be invited by the TAG chairs and may include current or former members the TAG. The task force will consist of no more than 10 participants [tbc] and will operate for a duration of 12 months. The final output will be a report potentially published as a TAG Finding (which could later be elevated to a W3C statement). Similarly to the TAG, the

URLs Are the Bedrock of the Web

The URL is the key architectural building block on top of which the Web is constructed. Web applications that undemine the importance of the URL or that obfuscate the URL undermine his building block and therefore are an attack on the bedrock on which the web is built.

The URL of the content should not be obscured behind another URL.
URLs are bound to user trust.
URLs are part of the user experience that indicate to a user where they are going or what the origin of a piece of information is.
URLs indicate to the browser what the origin of the content is and the web security model is also bound to origin.
Obscuring the URL of a piece of content leads to the spread of fake news.

The TAG uses our public mailing list for most technical discussion, in the interest of transparency and to foster engagement with the community. We therefore encourage the community to pose questions, make proposals for new work and discuss our current work items on the TAG mailing list.

In doing so, we ask that those who participate on the mailing list understand:

• The primary focus of the www-tag list is the current and potential work items of the TAG

• Conference announcements, software releases, bugs and the like are not appropriate for this list – even if they are related to Web architecture
