VRML doesn't need any more support for shadows, in my opinion. There's
nothing stopping a browser from showing shadowed VRML worlds today, except
that nobody knows how to do it fast enough to make it worthwhile.
The VRML spec doesn't _require_ shadows to be generated (that would be
stupid, it is WAY too slow), but it doesn't _prevent_ them from being
generated, either.
