Needs an exceedingly new browser, e.g. firefox 4.0, which isn't even
released yet so far as I know. 

Pity we've had to wait till now for this. VRML was actually sufficient
for our cave-viewing needs, but it never got popular enough to work
very well. Lets hope WebGL will be better, but it's going to be a
while before we all have shainy-enough kit.
