Tony says more details about their system and protocol will be available later in April (after they present it at the Web3D Symposium).
With s5 we've talked about tweaking the A3DL object model a bit for various reasons. One thing we can do is make A3DL "line up" with X3D/VRML a bit better, which would help with loading VRML into a VOS server. Another possability I'd be interested in looking at is if SWMP is suitable for plugging in as an alternative transport protocol -- I don't think the documentation talks much about it, and we've never really done to much with the idea, but we've always had the idea that VOS objects could communicate in different ways other than just over the network using a protocol like VIP. E.g. different sites in a cluster of computers could communicate much faster through shared memory or something like that. Sites could also talk to each other using different protocols. Not sure yet how to bridge to completely different multiuser 3D systems but at some point we might see if it's possible.
