Actually what I have in mind is more like VRML or HTML rather than Java.
I would restrict it to characters, some NPCs, and simple objects.
Complex NPCs are fairly hard to move around from place to place if they
depend on the code of the server. A better way to move complex NPCs is
to have them handle their own code--as remote bots.
