Just two cents worth and to answer the question
why...X3D is a standard and supporting it strengthens
its potential, if it is a good standard supporting it
is favorable to anyone interested in interoperable
web3d. As of now the implementation is weak because
it is in its infancy and it is a relatively small open
source effort; i have never participated in an open
source development but from my perspective the results
are as weak or strong as the interest people take in
it. I personally have been very frustrated with
attempts to use it. Regardless of the weaknesses of
this implementation, I do believe the standard itself
is a well designed.
