Ah, I thought DIS only sent id, position, orientation, velocity and acceleration. Do objects own their properties, or can anyone on the network provide them?
I've heard of people mixing X3D with DIS. I thought that X3D provided all the modelling and visualization, and DIS provided the above. X3D is a textual language. When asked about security on the X3D-public list, the suggestion was to use session ids....yeah, right, one key for the whole browser.
