This is such limiting minded thinking. The whole 2d space is visible in the DOM. Fuck yes of course 3d space should also be a user visible integrated piece of the hypermedia document. Ideally experiences should blend the two! There was the whole Mozilla Flight of the Navigator demo in 2009 where video elements were nicely integrated into a 3d scene (sandboxing concerns killed this then but with element-capture spec it should be possible again!). This stuff needs to be integrative, not separate universes, dumb opaque canvases driven by code.
Fonts & bitmaps seem like bad counter examples to me, disingenuous. Whether we use every outside resource as an excuse to say this doesn't need to be hypermedium, or whether we look opportunistically to build hypermedium as we can seems like a clash of dispositions.
I can try to check out this TR TP2 but I really think you are being extremely resistant to what makes the web excellent & throwing chaff. There's a lot of shallow prejudice that html should be kept small, is only for X or Y but not Z, and we keep getting better and better & making more & more excellent componentry that defies this eternal limited-minded doomsaying.
