Neither ARB or Khronos had nothing to do with VRML, OpenInventor.
Yes I do believe that it is appropriate for Khronos to specify something, specially for beginners.
I did my first GL serious application porting a particles visualization engine from NeXTSTEP into Windows, ironically what is a basic feature in any modern graphics engine.
Yet, whatever is coming out of Khronos has already changed since then, other than now we have Khronos instead of ARB and get some PDFs with overview of APIs.
It appears there is a certain culture that every beginner has to through the same rite of passage to be worthy of using Khronos APIs.
It is like only IP would be standard, and after learning how to send an ICMP package, one would need to go out and get libraries for UDP, TCP, or do their own protocol on top of IP.
