Under the WWW concepts, you really dont know if anyone else is in the
neighborhood. So this is entirely moot.
However, If you use WWW as a gateway into a MOO/MUSH type environment
(for which VRML/VRIF might be used as a basis), its a whole new ball game.
These multi-user spaces are intended primarily for social interaction in a
virtual (textual) environment.
I think the basic world description portion of VRML (VR Interchange Format)
would be very useful for exchanging info about a MOO world. Basic personal
represenations then become very much of interest and a fairly major
extension of the VRML (complex articulated, remotely controled entities).
