Under VRML97, no can do. It was not designed for that. User information
does not exist in the file. WorldInfo was basically for a browser to put
a title on the screen and maybe something in an About box for the world.
Nothing usable by the application code. You'll want to use VRML3/X3D,
which can use meta tags for this sort of thing.
The X3D loader is not particularly stable at the moment. It's undergoing
some massive rewrites to provide full DOM and SAI capabilities (still
using the existing VRML97 loader for rendering purposes in Java3D). Feel
free to pitch in and help us if you need some specific capability. The
current plan is to have most of the large scale work complete by the
Web3D conference on Feb 19.
