There's an OFF converter available, which is very useful since there are
LOTS of OFF-format objects available on the net, as well as code for
manipulating them.

Toby Howard at Manchester is working in VR with the Advanced Interfaces
Group there (see http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/aig/staff/toby/toby.html). I'd
be surprised if he wasn't interested in VRML, but assume that he's not
on this list yet since we haven't heard from him. Toby works with
Terry Hewitt (who works with MSDL). Perhaps one of them could comment
on the possibility of using MSDL in the VRML project...?
