[x3d-public] Moving Worlds - VRML2.0 a short history

[Andreas Plesch]

Very interesting to read the original discussions on how to go from
"static" VRML 1.0 to "dynamic" VRML 2.0 with behaviours, scripting and
protos. It seems that webgl, the DOM and fast javascript now bring up very
similar questions again.

Quite a few design decisions were based on the requirement for efficiency
in a 3d browser in the mid 90's.

Of all the referenced documents I found the final summary of the changes in
VRML 2 and the reasons for them most illuminating:
