Have looked into detail on this, but is this internal format defined yet?

XML is good in that it specifies data structures. With this and a good style
sheet, you can convert it into any format you want.  The resulting format is
then used by whatever display tool (or browser) to display it.

Once again, you could possibly use an existing format (VRML/3DML) but just a
suggestion.

I've babbled enough for one day.
