I have been using Common LISP for various www applications for more than a
year, and find it clearly to be the language of choice for this purpose. I
would be happy to team up to get some discussion as to how we can use LISP
to serve the features of Java and for behaviours in VRML. The
www-cl@ai.mit.edu mailing list might also be an appropriate location for
such a discussion.

I am also interested in getting in contact with others that are using LISP
(or consider to be using LISP) in the context of VRML.
