Wish lists for Spec version:

1.1:
Grid/Mesh node
Fuzzy Logic extension of LOD (+ SFFuzzy + MFFuzzy)
ambientSound node
Simple Behavior along the lines of Animation
(so we can do a waterfall!)
resolution of binary file question
WWWInline/WWWInclude that doesn't render for reading DEFs

2.0:
Behaviors
Interactivity
3D sound

Note I say resolution of binary file format question. I really don't see
a need for the binary file format. If our compression programs are worth
their stuff, I don't think it'll do much for us. I don't think we want to get
into the compression program writing business (after all, we're already
called upon to be experts in so many other areas!). The current proposals
for binary formats all seem inelegant.

The explosion of VRML will be related to the average
user being able to create a VRML world more than the ability to quickly
download big worlds.

is still trying to find a copy of Win32S)
