[Don Brutzman]

Roy, supporting today's X3D working-group dialog and minutes:  here are recent Twitter links on the topic "#VRML is #X3D".

	Great video thanks! Content capabilities still exist today:
	"#VRML is #X3D" means backwards+forwards compatibility has been
	maintained ever since VRML97 by people working with @Web3DConsortium.
	#X3D v3.3 is stable, v4.0 will align with HTML5/DOM/CSS, v4.1 will add #VR/#AR/MAR/XR

	With all the fuss over #VR, we've forgotten that we had perfectly good
	VR in the *browser* in the '90s! 😉 #VRML
