Another area that XML is eminently suitable for in the VRML community is in the avatar specification, Universal Avatars (distinct from H-Anim). This proposal requires a User Profile instance to be referenced by URL. Last I looked, the user profile was in HTML although the developers question the suitability of HTML for this and for good reasons since in HTML, this is primarily a set of value pairs enclosed in comments. This is an ideal application for XML. There are lots of these small descriptive documents that are not meant to be display-rendered, but serve essentially as data lumps for some process. XML: Lots of Little DTDs. There are other over the wire data protocols that could use XML. len bullard > xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
