I'm generating POV-Ray and VRML from the same source.  I've read the
language specification for both, and they would seem to have the same
coordinate axes.  But when I view them, the x-axis is always reversed.  Has
anyone else seen this?  It's making me crazy (well, more than normal).  I
don't want to "fix" it if there's something I'm doing wrong.

I have probably answered my own question. I found a VRML tutorial that
indicates that it is a right-handed coordinate system (I must have misread
the documentation). The "quick fix" is probably to change the handedness of
the POV system using the camera { right mechanism. VRML doesn't seem to
provide a similar fix...unfortunately...I find the left-handed system more
intuitive.

You can probably also fix this with rotating and scaling, you can also scale
negative to reverse an axis.
