I don't know if you need to reserve it, but something like model/web3d+zip might be interesting to some, as a way to bundle resources and scene files in .zip like googleEarth kmz. Specs haven't been discussed.

in freewrl I implemented a .x3z which I serve as MIMEtype model/x3d+zip and is limited to doc.x3d start scene. It works when the client has permission to write local files, and  permission to clean up those files after unzipping. The implementation uses libminizip in the client, and desktop zip utility to create the .zip file before renaming it to .x3z
