X3D supports animation, interactivity, scripting, extensibility, and a whole lot more, so it does everything you want it to do. Also, it's been standardized, the specification and schema are published freely online, it has an active working group, and it is in version 3.2 (at the time I'm writing this), so it's been well vetted. X3D currently requires a browser plugin (or standalone player); however, I'm sure that they would love to get native browser support. Closed source browser plugin implementations exist (such as Bitmanagement's BS Contact, Octaga's Octaga player, Instant Reality's InstantPlayer, and ...); however, open source implementations of X3D players also exist. Let me know if you want more information (there is a bunch of online documentation and videos describing the spec).

Det framlagte forslaget går ut på å gjøre et API (programmerings-grensesnitt) for 3D tilgjengelig i Javascript på lignende måte som <canvas> nå gjør 2D-grafikk mulig. Vladimir Vukićević har allerede arbeidet med en eksperimentell utvidelse kalt Canvas 3D, som demonstrerer dette konseptet. Mer informasjon finnes på Mozilla Standards Blog.
