This has been bouncing around the news web all day, but I've not seen any mention of it here, so in case you haven't seen it...
Mozilla and Google have teamed up with an organisation called 'Khronos', with the intention of defining standards for use of 3D hardware acceleration (via OpenGL) through JavaScript.
They hope to bear the first fruits in a year or so. A wee while off yet, granted - but this sounds like the kind of announcement that'll actually have legs.
Roll on, 3D web - fuck you, Second Life.
