Maybe some new tools? SInce the end objective must be to represent the 
element as a live scriptable DOM tree then lots of stuff like passing 
data to and from the embedded context and controlling processing 
within the thing may be easier or at least more familiar to many If 
they give us a good DOM to play with.
But heck we all know how easy it is to do easy stuff with simple 
animations and interactions. As len said somewhen,"Rendering and 
behavioral fidelity are equal requirements in these systems". We now 
see that it is relatively common to get similar rendering fidelity 
between platforms, even approaching 'realistic' high fidelity in 
appearance even when an appearance is complex. And, so it will be with 
fidelity for simple behaviours. Heck maybe all somebody has to learn 
is some 3DCSS.
When behaviors get complex and require synchronization to achieve 
fidelity, our mastery of the DOM event system will define 'realistic' 
to the user. Then, getting almost to what is needed for real hifi fun 
discover why the X3D SAI internal/external event system works like it 
does.

Or, maybe some tech or practice that would shake up our event system 
'pipeline' like shaders changed the rendering pipeline.
