I put a draft of the syntax of the OO Extensions
on the web server. You can access it at

http://www.rw.cdl.uni-saarland.de/private/diehl/ooevrml/ooesyndraft.html

Please, have a look at it and let me know, if
you think, you don't think this syntax includes
the right extensions or if you want to accept
it as the current consensus. I tried to
find a compromise of the different views
expressed in the recent discussions.

I think the functions in paths replace the Eventhandlers,
that's why they don't appear in the syntax.
I also did not include the PARENT keyword,
I think we should discuss this one and leave
it as a future extension. Jean-Francis suggested
a clever way to implement it, but this would only
work, if we would write a new browser for our
extensions, it could not be implemented on
top of VRML 2.0.

I am waiting for your responses, so I can
start to implement this extensions and we
have a prototype to play with soon.
