You're right, the VRML export is currently broken.  It is probably due to the 
introduction of the choice between nm and Thou as base units.  I don't think it 
will be difficult to fix, but it's low priority and the devs have much more 
important things to work on in their time.  I'll see if I can find some time on 
Sunday to look at the code and attempt to make a quick fix.  I suspect the VRML 
export code would benefit from a major restructuring, but for now I imagine a 
small patch to fix up the current problem should be possible.
