That's all true if player builds any VRML he wants. In case you provide
players with world constructor modules, which can be parameterized to great
extent, the situation is different. The player won't "end up with a full
copy of the server's image DB". Objects built by him will present small VRML
files which will INCLUDE (as in C) parameterized world constructor modules
by means of "extern proto" mechanism. These constructor modules adhere to
local cache rules.
Have fun,
Dima.
