<p class="MsoNormal">Vince, thanks for considering such efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You make a great case that a narrower-scope document might have greater value to more people. Can also be much more accessible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile the detailed spreadsheet has proven useful in the past, maintaining a comprehensive inventory of support across multiple categories can help individual projects and also X3D specification coverage. Also helps when people are
looking for open source. A lot of structure (and statistics) there are mature, so it only needs occasional updating as X3D coverage steadily improves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, probably both approaches seem meritorious… would that work for you?
