I've actually made some progress with this. After struggling a bit with
the library I planned to use for VRML parsing (pyvrml), I gave up on
that and started to implement my own stripped-down parser. It turned out
to be surprisingly straightforward, the whole parser + converter are
only around 125 lines of (pure python) code. So far it can successfully
convert all the Argyll CMS VRML files that I throw at it, which is
encouraging.
