X3D seemed to be heralded at first as a fundamental change from VRML. For instance, in his forward to Core Web3D (Walsh & Bourges-Sevenier), Mark Pesce said "X3d allows Web designers to drop 3D into their pages without concern for the plug-in architecture or client platform." From what I have seen, X3D just seems to be an alternative encoding format just as dependant on plug-ins as VRML. Am I missing something? Are there any moves to realize the XML benefits?
