Of course not.
It just seems very odd that web-based virtual worlds that want to 
interoperate need to follow some standard for sending the assets to the 
clients. This just doesn't seem related to interoperability between 
independently-operated virtual worlds. They way I do it and the way you 
do it doesn't seem related to our ability to send our users to each 
other's world.
