 A good, portable (between Box2D versions) XML scene format would allow
 quite a few more things to be possible with Physics:
 (1) Scenes can be '''saved'''
 (2) '''Games''' can be created in Physics using the joystick button and
 exported as activities
 (3) '''Classrooms''' with computers already may then use the Java, Flash,
 Windows/Mac/Linux versions of Box2D supporting this format to utilize
 examples made in Physics and make examples that may be used in Physics.
 (4) '''Groups''' of objects can be selected, moved together, duplicated
 and deleted much like shapes in a vector graphics editor
