I'd be happy to remove scripting from X3D files, but people would scream 
bloody murder.  Levels of the X3D spec are data only, but the higher 
levels do have a complete runtime.  I don't think you could provide 
everything X3D does in a totally declarative fashion(ok, I have seen 
declaractive programming languages but they scare me). 

I'd suggest that X3D Interactive is the level we should push industry 
for adoptance as baseline importer/exporter.  Beyond that range you are 
likely taking native X3D tools.
