Well, this is the best practive, right. I hope we could say the same 
sort of thing on down the line from a coordinate system to the method 
of representing rotations and orientations, or like defining the data 
contents for interpolators, or the names for sensors, the data 
structure for a set of vertices, colors, surface effects, and more.

for sure back and partly awake and going for the vis of our viz but 
still the important thing is the show all tell all open part.

I guess we for sure have to watch out for that. To me the big item 
here would be an XML form that can be schemafied and proven, easy 
transcoding from whatever form to X3D and vice-versa where that 
commonality of concepts and data applies. I recall that we did not 
really have an XML encoding for X3D until we showed typical XML 
transformation techniques could be used to go back and forth between 
VRML2 and XML X3D and until we stretched the XML schema to get the 
types of data we needed.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Joe
