[x3d-public] A Layer/Layout yottzumm/coderextreme example scene to talk about

[GPU Group]

"HTML .." Virtual Desktops > some HMD head mounted display operating
systems feature multiple virtual desktop computer screens floating in 3D
space, each presumably rendering various 2D and 3D content including HTML
pages. So what should be at the top level?
a) 3D
b) desktop
c) html
d) HMD
It seems somewhat circular, with no rightful top level. Even HMD could be
simulated in 3D and shown in a higher level 3D scene in a 3D window in an
html page on a desktop.
