[x3d-public] X3D Specifications ready for review: XML, ClassicVRML, and Compressed Binary Encodings

[Don Brutzman]

Dick Puk and I have been quietly toiling all year to update multiple X3D
specifications, as part of the X3D Standards Working Group.

The X3D Standards Progress page shows a concise summary of marked-up and
pristine HTML updates of all these long-standing standards documents.

We are now requesting review and comments for the X3D XML, ClassicVRML, and
Compressed Binary Encodings to match the X3D version 4.0 Architecture. You
are welcome to view markup changes, pristine versions, or both side-by-side
for careful comparison. For example, see attached screen comparison.

All changes are carefully documented in the Web3D Consortium Mantis issue
tracker, and maintained in github version control.

In coming months we will begin following a new ISO process for PAS
submission and standardization.

*Many thanks to many implementers, modelers, and users over the years who
have steadily improved X3D. *😀*👌*

All comments appreciated, best discussed on x3d-public mailing list (or x3d
mailing list for member-only, private concerns.

Have fun with X3D!

all the best, Don
