Right, but any X3D viewer is meant to handle VRML without change.

Unfortunately, direct support for X3D seems to be as scarce as VRML support
in its day, so it's not much of an improvement

X3DOM seems to have left out support for reading X3D and VRML files.
So the only option seems to be generating the necessary html
with X3D XML format embedded. Supporting this would need a good deal of
consolidation and re-coding of all the ArgyllCMS VRML code.

So while it would be nice to have, it is difficult to find the time for
at present.
