Which I agree with. Tony, you're being political. Ok, but once
again, that is the way to rob an initiative of long term credibility
for short-term hype bursts.
Web3D has and never will be an HTML-like application simply because 3D
is hard and requires levels of training and talent not required for
documents and really is beyond most web-page builders unless you give
them legos. This is much like the early GUIs where to build one you
had to understand closer-to-the metal concepts. For art, this is
acceptable and even preferable because style is everything. For
screen widgets that have to conform to a standard look, feel and
performance metric, not so much.
