Sure, this is precisely what I imagined when I commented on this (I
commented we could display text inside some VRML-defined object). I
like the idea, and it provides a framework for embedding things like
Java scripts in VRML as well.

However, we do still need to provide *some* native text representation
for text which forms part of the framework on the world.
