I'd be interested to see a concrete proposal for upgrading VRML's
link model. The HTML WG just managed to self-destruct on the same
question for HTML...but perhaps we can do better here, and push HTML
forward too.

We need something clean and simple that lends itself to universal
adoption by all Web formats; so the full-blown HyTime model may be
too much to swallow. On the other hand, we need something that is
powerful enough to handle dynamic documents (e.g., VRML linked to a
client-side Java script which updates it).
