I have a sneaking suspicion that its going to be the only way to do it
right?  Most of what I've seen to date has been more promise than flash,
with rendering times *not* being pleasant -- especially for non-trivial or
twit-level programmed objects.  (NB If you *really* know VRML, the
rendering time/computation time for many objects can be massively reduced
by choosing a differnt method to define the same appearing object.  For me
this creates a big problem for a supposedly user-created/user-defined
world)

Yup.  It definitely bears looking at.  Wish I had the time right now
(still buried up to the neck in stock quote servers).
