In the first case, the file is compressed with GZIP. If the mime-type
is set to model/vrml without the appropriate content-encoding set, then
we do not read it. In the same way that naming a file with .wrl and
then compressing it without changing the extension.

The reason Cosmo and Cortona read these files and display them is because
they choose to ignore the very strict wording of the specification and
conformance requirements which explicitly states these sorts of files are
errors.

The second file I have no idea why. I don't have time to find out either.
Our company is in something close to panic mode with the amount of work
we've been contracted to do in the next few weeks coming up to siggraph.
I barely have time to scratch myself, let alone look after other peoples
problems right now.

Correct.
