Re: [vwrap] AW Groupies meeting on mesh asset interop

Further on this subject, be sure to watch iED's interesting video at
http://www.youtube.com/ImmersiveED#p/u/0/cMhBiu0YJ3s .

A key sentence from near the end of the video:

"*Here, realXtend is actually getting that crab out of Wonderland.  In other
words, Wonderland is hosting the crab in its asset repositories, and
realXtend is pulling directly from the Wonderland server, the Wonderland
content repository, to enable drag'n'drop right there in realXtend.*"

Well done, realXtend and OpenWonderland, and of course iED! :-)

Clearly all of this is heading beyond mere format compatibility and towards
full interoperability between worlds.  Our work in VWRAP can help that goal
happen.  Indeed, if it does not then it may rapidly become irrelevant.
