This strikes me as one of those cases that isn't particularly specific
to VRML -- it's pretty analogous to the situation in HTML, and we
ought to be using the same general solutions. Those solutions aren't
yet perfect (security mainly consists of checking the user's Net ID, I
believe), but they're probably enough for now, and I suspect that the
Web *will* be evolving better security systems fairly rapidly --
they're necessary in order to get a lot of commercial applications up
and running, and nothing drives technology quite as fast as money...

Random Quote du Jour:
"Given what had happened to other innocent bystanders like Steve Jackson,
I gave some thought to getting scared. But this was Kafka in a clown suit.
It wasn't precisely frightening. I also took some comfort in a phrase once
applied to the administration of Frederick the Great: `Despotism tempered
by incompetence.'"
