Well actually I was thinking more along the lines of describing a model in
terms of it's parts, but not a full 3d description like X3D. Something like
this (sorry, this looks terrible without a monospaced font):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE model SYSTEM "http://brick-xml.sourceforge.net/DTD/brick-xml.dtd">
<model>
<info creator="Gary Thomas" date="04/02/2002" title="Test MOC">
Long description, blah blah blah blah.
</info>
<part id="3001" color="#FF0000" x="0" y="1" z="3"/>
<!-- optional transform attribute uses matrix transformation -->
<part id="3001" color="#FFFF00" x="2" y="1" z="3" transform="matrix(1 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 1)"/>
<!-- optional transform shows a rotation about the x axis -->
<part id="3003" color="#000000" x="1" y="9" z="0" transform="rotate(90,0,0)"/>
<!-- color uses optional alpha channel -->
<part id="3005" color="#FFFFFFAA" x="6" y="0" z="0"/>
</model>
So in theory, it's still compatible with ldraw/lgeo parts, etc.
Later,
Gary
