Alright, I've come around and decided that maybe an XML representation is
the way to go. Here's a sample file that demonstrates how it might look:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<site>
<!-- Site consists of one or more root vobjects -->
<vobject name="world" type="a3dl:sector">
<!-- (optional) defines access control policy for this vobject and
all children that don't define their own access control policy -->
<acl policy="core:accept-all,property:deny-all">
<member href="/phred" />
<member href="/barney" />
</acl>
<!-- Shorthand for defining a child vobject property -->
<property name="example" datatype="text/plain">Data goes
here.</property>
<!-- Link to a vobject on a remote site -->
<link name="bloxx" href="vip://interreality.org/world/bloxx" />
<!-- Link to a vobject on the local site -->
<link name="that-guy" href="/phred">
<!-- Can also specify a child object and supply datablocks (so it is
loaded via the persistance interface) -->
<child name="another-example" type="property:property">
<block name="property:data">Hello there</block>
<block name="property:datatype">text/plain</block>
</child>
<!-- Child nodes are processed recursively the same way as vobject nodes
- -->
<child name="an-object" type="a3dl:object3d.cube">
<property name="a3dl:position">1 2 3</property>
<property name="a3dl:orientation">0 1 0 90</property>
<child name="a3dl:material" type="a3dl:material">
<property name="a3dl:color">.3 .5 .7</property>
</child>
</child>
</vobject>
<!-- Can define additional vobjects which are not connected to the
first vobject -->
<vobject name="phred" type="core:identity,misc:avatar" />
<vobject name="barney" type="core:identity,misc:avatar" />
</site>
