I think you're being too pessimistic about the eventual ubiquity of vrml
in the www. It seems likely to

  • in the not vrml-capable browser and respond with a tiny bit of simple vrml, maybe
    just representing their home page in 3D as a desktop that makes
    available all of the buttons that they have on the html version of it.

    In fact, a utility that converts a single page in html into vrml as a
    virtual
    flat surface with printing and images on it and icons and text links
    sticking up a bit sounds easy. That plus a public domain CGI program
    that recognizes a vrml browser request and runs the html page through
    the utility should make all of these proposed conventions unnecessary.
