What I think we are seeing in the first rounds is the requirement for the unified framework of definitions. We know XML doesn't meet that requirement. We know we have other language communities struggling with multiple encodings. As soon as I get to the bottom of the stack of tonight's mail, I will post the promised condensed version of the VRML definitions. As I review them, it is interesting that they are not far off from groves as explained thus far. On the other hand, things are done in the language (eg, Protos) which are interesting in the means of extensibility created and the compromises that have to be made to do this. Particularly, VRML is optimized to make an execution model work in which time is fuzzy definition. len
