5.    X3D V 4
5.1.    A number of significant compatibility issues between X3D and X3DOM

5.2.    Pages at URLs below highlight differences between X3D and X3DOM
5.2.1. http://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dNodeInventoryComparison.xlsx
5.2.2. http://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dNodeInventoryComparison.pdf
5.2.3.    http://realism.com/x3d-tools/Specifications/comparison.php

5.3.    Need to determine which nodes (or classes or nodes) are to be 
present in X3D V4
5.3.1.    Requirements
5.3.1.1.    X3D as a whole must support everything in X3D V3.3, except 
for nodes or components that are deprecated
5.3.1.2.    End result must be implementable and have two implementations
5.3.1.3.    May add features and./or profiles that are needed, 
documented, and implemented
5.3.2.    A new ‘HTML’ profile may overlap with existing profiles and 
include nodes and./or fields not in any existing profile.
5.3.3.    My causes for concern (not necessarily complete)
5.3.3.1.    Script node name conflict
5.3.3.2.    DOM Namespaces (includes need for IMPORT/EXPORT)
5.3.3.3.    DOM/X3D interaction not using the SAI
5.3.3.4.    PROTO and EXTERNPROTO
5.3.3.5.    Miscellaneous fields (e.g., url, render)
5.3.3.6.    Miscellaneous STATEMENTS (e.g., UNITS)
5.3.3.7.    Geometry (Mesh, Extrusion, ElevationGrid, SRC)
5.3.3.8.    Appearance (Shaders)
5.3.3.9.    Spec-compliant implementations
5.3.4.    How to go about creating an HTML profile that can be 
documented and implemented by December?

5.4.    Source Resource Container (SRC)
5.4.1.    A structure for holding geometry that can be directly imported 
onto a graphics card
5.4.2.    Start on document at 
http://realism.com/x3d-tools/Specifications/SRC/
5.4.3.    Fraunhofer paper and documentation at http://x3dom.org/src
5.4.4.    Is this done as 1 or 2 documents? IOW, are multiple encodings 
possible?

5.5.    Other topics (from 4.4)
