My original c3d demos used the x-shader/x-vertex stuff as just an example of how shader content could be stuck in html content, and other demos have done something similar; it's convenient, but you could just as easily put it all in a custom XML file, inline string, in a display:none <div> or anywhere else, as it was all loaded in the pure js side without involving WebGL at all.  It may not have been the best idea in the first place, even :-)

Right, but in the future we'll probably want to load scripts from external URLs, so having a mime-type will ultimately be useful. So I think it's reasonable to start the process now. But maybe it's too early?
