John, why not use our published links?  I won't be maintaining documents at
Google Docs links, they are not archival.

*	https://www.web3d.org/specifications
*	Updated. X3D Node Inventory Comparison
<https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dNodeInventoryComparison.xlsx>
(.pdf <https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dNodeInventoryComparison.pdf>
) shows node-by-node implementation coverage of the X3D Abstract
Specification: validation using X3D Schema, X3D DOCTYPE, and X3D Schematron;
X3D Tooltips and VRML97 node sets; plus selected open-source
implementations: FreeWrl, X3DOM, X_ITE, view3dscene (Castle Game Engine),
X3D-Edit, Xj3D.

As ever, I am happy to integrate and publish all changes and additions to
the spreadsheet.  It is also maintained in version control so that we have
the reliability of a full change-by-change history.

If the spreadsheet above contains macros that should be removed, we can work
on that.  Meanwhile the PDF version (published from the spreadsheet) should
be secure to everyone's satisfaction, on whatever operating system and tool
setup that they are using.

Some of your notes below sound pretty extensive. feel free to explore new
comparisons using whatever document you like, we can integrate later once it
reaches some level of stability.

Further improvements always welcome, this is a recurring weekly topic on X3D
Working Group videoconferences.  Again thanks for further pursuit of
progress.

all the best, Don

X3DNode_DRAFT2.xlsx

the xlsm variant has 2 recorded macros for sorting

SORT_BY_NODENAME

SORT_BY_COMPONENT

Suggested enhancements:

Levels of GLTF support

Level 0 None

Level 1 .gltf loaded as Inline, basic geometry with materials

Level 2 any enhancements over Level 1: .glb, loading materials as library
for use in x3d scene, animations and skinning

Levels of HTML support

Level 0 None

Level 1 hybrid, can show html and scene but no standard communicatio between
layers / frames

Level 2 standardized way to communicate between scene and html

Level 3 full integration
