Virtual Worlds like Second Life, don't really have any relationship with
the 3D Web closer than maybe second cousins. Just as you could say that
databases and the Web have many similarities, but are very different
tracks with different audiences, targets and task-specific uses.
Essentially, as I understand it, the AWG and the 3D Web people are
working towards different goals that are often confused with each-other
as they may share many technologies and protocols, and fulfill some of
each-other's targets.
