I'd much rather prefer A-Frame become this layer for HTML, if only for the fact that the component registry is already community driven and therefore populated.
FWIW the vfx industry is starting to settle on a single format (again) - this might make more sense to implement than something more xml/web-ish... https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/docs/index.html
How does it work? Does it just render a scene from server-side?
USD couldn't be more different than X3D. It's an industrial-strength standard for sharing massive movie-scale assets between commercial editing suites and production tools. X3D is lighter weight markup for defining simple 3D scenes that can be viewed in a web browser with a little interactivity.
I've just seen X3DOM which as I understand, it has something called "explicit DOM" means that it loads different DOMs explicitly which is useful I think, especially when the scene is complex
