Rikk Carey of SGI made a wonderful suggestion for a feature that I would
like to put into version 1.0. Wouldn't it be nice if, when your mouse was
over an object with a hyperlink, instead of seeing

http://www.tony.com/vrml/house.vrml

in the status area you saw

Go to Tony's House

It seems so much friendlier!

This is easy to do. We can add another field to the WWWAnchor node called,
say, "description." So the new WWWAnchor definition would be

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
WWWAnchor {
name "" # SFString
description "" # SFString
map NONE # SFEnum
}

What do people think?
