I looked into the VRML code and standards when I first started using java3d.
I found it to be muddy waters at the very least.  It seems to me that there
is not real support for VRML, that there is confusion among the VRML
consortium, and their "partnership" with sun seems to have stagnated
completely.  Not to mention the version 1.0 vrs 2.0 format inconsistancies,
etc.

If you were going to use VRML as mthod for moving animations from 3dmax, you
might want to get Javacc and write your own parser.

Then send the code to us ;P
