We're also using it to locate on-disk versions of the DTDs to save doing 
remote resolution and a few other things like that too. Also, just gone 
into the build recently is the requirement for JMF to be installed as 
well so that we can handle the MovieTexture node. Adding to the list of 
things that would prevent us from doing dynamic loading are our own 
thread management, own custom network connection handling, creating our 
own ClassLoader instances and a lot more along those lines. Basically 
it's a case of Xj3D has to be installed in jre/lib/ext otherwise it 
won't be able to function. Gets worse too once we start including native 
code for Dome handling and other input devices.
