[geovrml] Re: Updated info on geovrml.org for Cortona browser

["Kononenko, Maxim" <parker@parallelgraphics.com>]

Martin, there is some misunderstanding about using GeoVRML fr Cortona.

Cortona browser know nothing about GeoVRML. But there is set of GeoVRML
protos with Native Scripts instead of Java scripts.
This protos can be found at http://www.parallelgraphics.com/vrml/proto/

For example, for GeoLocation you must use

"http://www.parallelgraphics.com/vrml/proto/GeoVRML/1.0/protos/GeoLocation.w
rl"
Instead of
"http://www.geovrml.org/1.0/protos/GeoLocation.wrl" 

In your scene.
This path is very simple - just change http://www.geovrml.org/ to
http://www.parallelgraphics.com/vrml/proto/

Only scene with this path in EXTERNPROTOs will use Cortona GeoVRML. So, if
user click to link at http://www.geovrml.org/1.0/download/ - he just will
have Cortona GeoVRML downloaded and installed, but all other examples on
site will use Java GeoVRML (because contains path to Java EXTERNPROTOs -
http://www.geovrml.org/1.0/protos/...

Unfortunately, Cosmo Player does not support multiple urls in Script node,
so, at this time is not possible to provide one set of EXTERNPROTOs. We will
try resolve this problem in next version of Cortona by provide urn mapping.
