Always sad that it never seemed to take off, but happy to see this newer effort and built-in 3D browser support. Covered your effort in one of my books [2], before built-in support. I did mention in the book about X3D and being able to use it in XHTML. Being able to use X3D in an HTML serialization, based on the _precedent_ set by inclusion of SVG and MathML would be a very interesting discussion item. Hopefully someone from the HTML WG will provide a report back to the HTML WG about the discussion. At a minimum, I believe it will be covered via IRC. > all the best, Don > -- > Shelley [1] http://web.archive.org/web/19971015101416/www.yasd.com/samples/vrml/ (Hey!
