Agree on all points. VRML-97 is the near pinnacle of human achievement, for declaring scene graphs, a special use case of object graphs. It had reuse. It had patch cords (specify non parent-child relations). It only lacked path expressions. I really I wish I could tell younger me to publish my own VMRL successor, way back when. Young me forfeited when confronted by XML's JavaScript-like metastasis, which had overwhelmed all rationale human endeavors. Then maybe I could have spared humanity the indignity of JSON and kin. Had I only known that all bouts of irrational exuberance eventually implode...
