<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, we are considering 2 different tags, script and X3DScript. What we’re trying to figure out is whether script tag can be overridden/extended to provide fields in X3DOM. I believe this can be done by providing a new script type (ala brython). We know X3DScript already has fields, but we need more research on events and routes.</p>
