Coordinate System

I've been watching this debate rage for a while now.

I know next to nothing about x,y,z planes - I'm just a humble user.

As a suggestion guys - it would be a simple matter to include a broser
preference to dictate two things:
1) User preference for 'Initial World Orientation' -> Map/Horizon
2) VRML compatibility -> VRML 1.0 (x,y,z), VRML 2.0 (y,x,z), VRML ?
(z,y,x)
(and 6 other combinations I guess) :)

As a user, I think that'd keep me happy.

Maybe a VRML tag (invisible to the user) of 'X,Y,Z Coordinate Ordering'
could be included in the language and then interpreted by the browser?

Just some thoughts.

Regards, Andrew.
