Dan,
Motoring around your site, I landed on: http://vizbang.com/iaml/
"IAML is an XML syntax designed to be a very simple way of placing a few
kinds of media objects (images, 3D shapes, chunks of text and audio clips)
in a 3D space and to allow navigation between them with links." (01)
That work appears to have ended when you moved to Santa Barbara. Anything
happening with it since the move? (02)
