But what about sound? That suggests comp.audio.vrml. Why not
comp.dcom.tcpip, since the Internet runs on TCP/IP, and much of VRML will
run on the Internet?

I think comp.infosystems.vrml is best, because vrml will be used to
display information through a distribution system. Maybe comp.vrml, since
vrml kind of combines a lot of diffewrent areas.

I think we should. I mean, we just came up with the idea of "sound". What
else is there we need to discuss?
