[x3d-public] [x3dom-users] CSS bindings for <x3d> ...</x3d>

yes, in this case the gap between webgl and html is the html dom. The 
efforts are how to get webgl functionalities into a state where 
features of webgl can be integrated into the dom (or any event-driven 
scenegraph), An example is touchsensor where the javascript platform 
gives access to webgl functionalities and communicates with the html 
using dom interfaces.

This is essentially what x3d does - adding author support for basic 
stuff like an object model for the scenegraph structures and a 
timestamped cascade event system regardless whether the underlying 
system is webgl or ogl; Sometimes when people are inventing this 
stuff, I hope they would look at some x3d. I'm sure the x3dom and 
cobweb and other great javascript supporting the ongoing intergration 
of x3d and html gibes some hints.

The point with css is that it is a very convenient way to control 
certain aspects of the scene. And, the current css with html shows 
that it is possible to rebuild an html browser to do css operations 
using mostly standard dom interfaces.

Thanks and Best,
Joe
