VRML is kinda legacy tech. It comes from the "lawnmower man" generation that expected us to be wearing VR headsets and browsing the net in 3D today.
As far as I know, the official standard remains at vrml97, although companies that create the clients to view VRML add to their own standard. Last time I checked, the Cortona plugin by Parallel Graphics (www.parallelgraphics.com), was the way to go.
There are a lot of things that made VRML unsuccessful, including the superior 3D capabilities of Director 3D, and the fact that MS IE didn't include its VRML player after version 4.
