[X3D-Public] 3D in HTML! What a great new idea!

[cbullard at hiwaay.net]

Could use some fact checking.  It's in the realm of "Christopher  
Columbus was the discoverer of America" quality.

"Although almost all PCs, as well as mobile and embedded devices,  
already contain high-performance 3D graphics hardware to process  
interactive 3D, it's never made its way onto the web."

Nothing robs an effort of credibility as much as over-hyped, easily  
refuted claims and rewritten history.  If we've learned nothing here  
on a list representing a community and technology that evidently  
"never made its way onto the web", surely we've learned that.
