PTM is a proposed new capability for the upcoming X3D v3.4.

Kwanhee Yoo has a standalone C++ implementation, he is now looking for 
an example X3D browser and is planning to add it to Xj3D source in the 
NPS branch for experimentation.

There will be X3D DTD and Schema forthcoming for version 3.4.  Haven't 
started it yet.  We recently put finishing touches on v3.3 and the 
wurvey of all working groups.  The X3D Working Group is now laying out 
detailed plans for v3.4 and v4.0 to allow a variety of parallel work 
this year.

I believe the latest version of the proposal is at

http://www.web3d.org/membership/login/groups/Korea%20Web3D%20Forum/2%28khyoo%29PTM.pdf

Kwanhee Yoo, can we please plan to update this documentation on an 
upcoming teleconference.  Also wondering if it is move this to the 
public website?  An important task remains to build one or two example 
scenes so that we can all examine how you propose to integrate these 
nodes into the X3D scene graph.

all the best, Don
