Agreed. However, it does require a rechartered IETF group, because our
current charter is heavily focused on defining an abstract type system,
specifying data formats for objects and avatars, and developing
application-layer protocols establishing and moving avatars in a region,
identifying and requesting information about entities, etc.

The current charter is here:

    http://tools.ietf.org/wg/vwrap/charters

How would folks in this group modify the charter to properly scope the
revised effort?

Feel free to discuss that topic on this list, and to use the wiki as a
sketchboard:

    http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/vwrap/trac/wiki

Oh, and did I mention that you can obtain login credentials for the Trac
wiki at the following URL? ;-)

Thanks!
