Hello, 

thanks for the explanation. I think I need to understand what A3DL is
first. I've read the section on the home page about A3DL, but still
don't really have a clue. I think that's the point where it boils down
to:

        A3DL is similar in spirit to technologies such as VRML and X3D;
        it describes a common interchange format for 3D data that can be
        shared among many applications. But it is not a file format
        &emdash; it it a specialization of the VOS protocol applied to
        3D virtual worlds. 

Is there any additional documentation available for A3DL, preferably
online without the need to install?

Is a3dl just a collection of types (spheres, position, model,...) or is
there more to it? What exactly is it used for?

You are mentioning that in VOS you are creating a metatype park:tree, is
this part of A3DL or of VOS? 

Btw. I think it would be good to be able to report bugs without having
an account. We all have to many accounts already, haven't we?

Best regards,

 Ben
