I agree with that...definitely wasn't referring to dynamic
location...more to do with animation and interaction.

If 2d and 3d model formats that support time can be linked to from/by
POIs then that deals with the animation.

I generally agree with that statement.

Well that really all depends upon how thinly we scope this standard.  I
can see benefits for just having a skeleton POI that is simply a
reference point separate from presentation and interaction information.

However, the main mobile AR browsers now all include some form of
interaction definition at the POI level and I find that really useful on
a daily basis.

So it all really depends on whether we expect that presentation and
interaction context will solely be supplied by the consuming
application...or if we also expect that in "some cases" the POI creator
would also like to be able to specify (at least recommended) options for
this.

Personally, I think not allowing a POI to be linked to the equivalents
of styles and events in any way at all could quickly become very
limiting and will simply drive more network connections.

Yeah see comment above.
