  2. how would it be different from IGES/STEP and all others B-rep based
    representations ?
    I expect it will be at least based on XML, but then how different will it be
    from VRML/X3D ?
    I have a different idea (www.cadml.org) but Microsoft didn't sign yet ;-)

    Philippe,
    the idea is to let MS 'develop' something similar and then see your lawyers
    for a healthy settlement ....after a respectable bit of posturing of course
    ;-)

  4. That looks like yet another import/export format thing.
    The mention of bitmaps & such .... (JPEGs are "lossy"
    too, IIRC, being a bit compressed to achive the smaller file sizes.)
    Sounds like a graphics file, not model geometry, made
    of surfaces & suchlike. Or <shudder> polygons ....
