I would be interested in updating this resource, but propose limiting its scope:

-- Focus on viewers, applications which at a minimum visually render X3D (XML encoding) files. Omit tools which are primarily for authoring or content creation such as Blender, Meshlab, X3D-Edit
-- Limit to viewers which are accessible to non-expert users, do not require compiling from source, on one or more of these platforms
   -- Desktop: Windows, Linux, or MacOS, in their modern OS releases (no Windows XP applications!)
   -- Web browser viewers  implemented as javascript libraries
   -- Web browser plugins or extensions  which work in latest versions of the browsers
   -- mobile applications which are available on the mobile stores
   -- VR device software which is publically available
-- Cover both ( open-source or closed-source )  and  (no-cost or purchased application)

Propose refining this scope at the Feb 4 WG meeting, and reviewing what applications meet these criteria. My partial list would be
X3DOM
X-ITE
Xj3D
Instant Player
BS Contact
view3dscene
Octaga (?)
Chrome X3D extension
FreeWRL
H3D Viewer
