One of the main benefits of the declarative nature of X3D is that it caters
for all the non programmers - allowing them to create using even the
simplest of tools. It should be the same for creating mutiuser networked
content.

Interestingly, Chris Marrin is proposing a declarative layer for webGL,
without which it would remain a programmers tool.
