The VRML Architecture Group (VAG) created the VRML 2.0 specification (VRML'97). Unfortunately access hooks such as alternative text nodes were not included in the 2.0 standard. As discussion continues on how VRML should evolve the Centre for Academic and Adaptive Technology (CAAT) will advocate for the inclusion of access hooks in subsequent standards so information presented in a VRML environment can be accessable.
The organisation now responsible for creating the next VRML standards is the Web3D Consortium. Information on the development of the VRML standard can be found on their site http://www.web3d.org/.
