Someone who produces the authoring tool for such a thing?
The authoring tool could be a commercial package, but produce a standard
format that is well-documented enough to allow 3rd parties to develop a
viewer or plug-in for such a format.

Wow, that's so last century.
Speaking of, whatever happened to VRML?

One day you're a hero...
Next day you're a clown...
There's nothing that is inbetween,
Now you're a 21st century man.
Apparently it came along at the wrong time (i.e., before broadband), and
flopped. Apparently X3D superceeded it, but that looks like being a flop
too...

First you need the format and wide-spread adoption. *Then* you can sell the
authoring tool. And the people using the result don't really care all that
much whether it's "open" or not. Only the Linux-desktop weenies care whether
something is "open" because they don't have enough market share to get
people to work for them for free.
The better way to go would be to take a popular proprietary standard that
already has an authoring tool, and then make it open enough to clone. Then
the open source proponents will clone it.

Wine exists. That doesn't stop me from complaining about Windows-only apps.

Maybe people who write open standards hate rich-media interactive web
applications, especially the kind made by the average noob with a WYSIWYG
editor? :D

(Especially since wine can run only a small fraction of Windows programs.)

Stop Wining. ;-)

It's news to be that Wine can successfully run *any* Windows programs at
all. OTOH, I haven't actually tried it, because... well, usually if I've
gone to all the bother of using Linux, it's because I want to use Linux. ;-)
