meaning it takes a message from a chatroom and shoves it into 
createX3DFromString.   Very easy to do.  Eventually you'll want messages 
to change position etc.  Ie you'll need some protocol.  That could be 
DIS, it could be a serialized form of SAI.  It could be a simple avatar 
is here with this 3d model etc.

Not positive, haven't looked at Jingle much.  I suspect you'd need to 
convert its messages into some change in the X3D scenegraph.

sure.  DIS_XML is already publically available from NPS and is used in 
the Xj3D codebase.  When I finish up the Raygun support from Planet9 
I'll make that public.  The code is not hard, just opens a connection to 
a chartoom(I use the smack api) and then calls SAI commands.
