>From what I've seen of VRML, it's not really a markup language at all---what
is it marking up? Perhaps what you're asking for is a semantic,
non-presentational description of objects in 3-space, but that's harder to get
good hype for than something that's vaguely associated with the Web.

I don't find construction of complex VR objects in MOO all that easy. Good
building in MOO takes a *lot* of time, even with the tools I have available to
me. MOO could do a lot better, and VRML systems had better.
I think this is a good thing to learn from both MOO and HTML: provide strong
authoring tools from the beginning.
