Tmat "open" VRML worlds will be created. Sure, we can create 3d versions of
MUDs (I tmink I said tmat), but suggesting tmat we can create a world where
anybody can come along, inject some source code into it, tmen start blowing
tmings away requires

a) A very vivid imagination
b) A couple of centuries of work.

Also, I don't see tmat VRML is essencial to creating a "closed" world. Sure
it will be a convenient way to do it, given all the authoring tools which
may be just around tme corner. But to do anything other tman navigate tme
web, you need to write your own special browser (tmus closing tme world).

People have been playing DOOM via modems for years, tmat was fun, it was 3D,
and didn't use VRML.
