[x3d-public] Validation suggestion on animation events

Mon Aug 31 16:56:30 PDT 2015

Cool animations!   8)

For your use: the X3D Validator applies a large number of tests.  Embedded in X3D-Edit and online at

	https://savage.nps.edu/X3dValidator

Quality Assurance (QA) checks are described at

	http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dResources.html#QualityAssurance

Reports are always welcome regarding erroneous ("false positive") results or scene errors that are not detected by any of the tests.

Good luck with your efforts.

p.s. as an example, here are results from X3D01_ok.x3d posted this morning (no doubt you have further improvements already).
