    Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.
    
    Warning: invoking the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.

```
    Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named class.
    
    Tooltip: The class attribute is a space-separated list of classes, reserved for use by CSS cascading stylesheets. Warning: currently the class attribute is only supported in XML encoding of X3D scenes. Hint: W3C Cascading Style Sheets https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS
