Gavin Bell sez:

. In my opinion, the right process for extending the VRML spec should be:
.
. 1. Discussion of desired features. Sample implementations tried BY AUTHORS
. (not browser-creator geeks, please). Re-specification and re-implementation
. until the feature is solid.
.
. 2a. Proposal to add as a standard, "must-be-supported" part of the spec.
. 2b. Authors LOVE the feature and demand all browsers support it.
. (these go on at the same time)

Is this acid test going to be applied to the Current VRML *draft*
specification?

Since I haven't seen one implementation, let alone a
re-implementation, I'm worried that there's really only one or two
browser writers out there...

So, my point is, how many people right now are actually writing
browsers for VRML? Can we see a show of hands? Someone should start
worrying about creating a 3D bake-off to make sure all these
implementations work together well, and don't render scenes in totally
different ways.
