For the case of your client talking to your virtual world, you don't have to follow any standards at all. That is completely outside the scope of VWRAP and no one is going to say "your client is using AJAX to fetch assets instead of the VWRAP standard, you're not VWRAP compliant!". But if you want your virtual world servers to interoperate with other clients that are written by other people (and may not be written in Javascript at all) you need to expose VWRAP-compliant endpoints on your servers that follow very precise specs. Does that clear up the possible disconnect we're having?
