VRML97 - real time 3D animation with textures, inclusions, API, and so forth SVG - namespace enabled 2D markup language (DOM enabled?); pretty much a spec for the original Chamberlain/Goldfarb paper on the subject from the early SGML days X3D - the project name for the VRML200x (Revision of VRML97) and also the name for the XML encoding for VRML200x. VRML is redefined using an abstract IDL and two encodings (X3D/XML and UTF-8/VRML97 syntax). SVG as revolutionary app to web? No, just the vector way to replace the GIFs, PNGs, etc. with all of the vector advantages. VRML200x will be profiled to enable scalable implementations such that one can deliver the browser with the content. SVG and VRML are targeted to different product types with the usual amount of overlap. The X3D and SVG designers have liaisons to try to get that overlap to work for the consumers. len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
