[x3d-public] X3D Standards Working Group list of standards under revision

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

X3D Standards Working Group<https://www.web3d.org/working-groups/x3d-standards> meets regularly to review continuing progress.
Primary work is by Dr. Dick Puk and myself as editors for these International Standards jointly reviewed and published with International Standards Organization (ISO), as members of U.S. National Standards Body INCITS.
Here are relevant specifications being revised.

All inputs are always welcome.  Issues can be discussed on Web3D mailing lists<https://www.web3d.org/community/public-mailing-lists> or submitted via Mantis issue tracker<https://mantis.web3d.org/bug_report_page.php>.
We have had a productive year (29 years of forward progression, actually) and look forward to even greater progress in 2025.
Have fun with X3D stability and versatility!  🙂

all the best, Don
