Other responses welcome too, cc: includes public-html and TPAC 2009 special-session participants] Sam, Maciej, Paul: In response to the November 2009 TPAC meeting's plenary debate, an HTML5 working group presentation and subsequent guidance discussions, the X3D working group has produced a detailed response describing how X3D can be part of HTML5 in support of centralized extensibility, similar to SVG and MathML. The response document _HTML5 Recommendation Additions for X3D_ is online at http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/html5/HTML5RecommendationAdditionsForX3D.html Some comments and amplifying information are available at http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8238 http://www.web3d.org/x3d/wiki/index.php/X3D_and_HTML5 A javascript-based X3D player invokable from HTML content has been produced to demonstrate how these capabilities can work together closely. It utilizes the WebGL layer provided in Minefield/Firefox and Webkit/Safari/Chrome nightly builds, and also shows excellent performance results. Available at http://x3dom.org We are also prepared to extend these leading browser implementations to add open-source solutions for native UA rendering of X3D scenes within compound HTML5+X3D documents. Details at http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8238#c26 Minutes from the Decentralized Extensibility in HTML5 session at TPAC 2009 online at following address, have also cc:ed participants http://www.w3.org/2009/11/04-tpac-minutes#item02 So what's next? Should the HTML5 working group choose to not proceed farther than SVG and MathML with centralized extensibility, we remain interested in showing proper decentralized extensibility for X3D in HTML5. Again, guidance regarding best practice would be needed from HTML5 group. Thus we now are seeking guidance regarding how to best proceed. There has been little discussion of our proposal on the HTML5 list. Should this be raised as an ISSUE? Would you like us available on one or more weekly teleconferences, or private discussions? We are standing by. Thanks for your many efforts and for considering this formal request. all the best, Don -- Don Brutzman Naval Postgraduate School, Code USW/Br brutzman@nps.edu Watkins 270 MOVES Institute, Monterey CA 93943-5000 USA work +1.831.656.2149 X3D, virtual worlds, underwater robots, XMSF http://web.nps.navy.mil/~brutzman
