[webkit-dev] WebKit and Khronos Group

[Harry Underwood]

Thanks for the link. Didn't even know that WebGL is being considered by

But another question, if you don't mind. Is O3D considered as a technical
competitor or conflict with Apple's CSS and SVG extensions, or should it be
considered as such?
