The default value for Dashboard in Table 9.2 should be 'false'. Agreed ?<br>
The table and the whole section 9.2.4 needs a new home, perhaps in<br>
concepts, or core.<br>
Section 4.4.2.4.2 typo: ISO/IEC 197775 should read ISO/IEC 19775.<br>
Perhaps already fixed ?<br>

Cheers, -Andreas<br>
<br>
Longer prose with links:<br>
<br>
Table 9.2 in<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/networking.html#t-BrowserProperties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/networking.html#t-BrowserProperties</a><br>
<br>
has a "Dashboard" browser option. It's default value is supposed to be<br>
derived from the (first?) bound NavigationInfo node in the scene.<br>
<br>
However, NavigationInfo in the spec.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/navigation.html#NavigationInfo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/navigation.html#NavigationInfo</a><br>
<br>
does not seem have a related field. Should the default just become 'false' ?<br>
<br>
Also, Table 9.2 seems misplaced in the networking component section. A<br>
better place may be in<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/concepts.html#X3Dbrowsers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/concepts.html#X3Dbrowsers</a><br>
<br>
or perhaps in the abstract SAI spec., next to<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-2/V3.3/Part02/servRef.html#setBrowserOption" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-2/V3.3/Part02/servRef.html#setBrowserOption</a><br>
<br>
and a new, proposed getBrowserOption function, similar to<br>
getBrowserProperty which has a table.<br>
<br>
Finally, section 4.4.2.4.2 Modifying objects via programmatic access in<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/concepts.html#ModifyingObjectsViaProgrammaticAccess" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/concepts.html#ModifyingObjectsViaProgrammaticAccess</a><br>
<br>
has a typo at the end of the third paragraph:<br>
<br>
ISO/IEC 197775 should read ISO/IEC 19775.<br>
