Thanks for the alert.  I am hoping to get the address and invocation
correct in our X3D Example Archives scenes by updating the conversion
stylesheet.

   - X3D Example Archives
   - https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dResources.html#Examples
   -
   https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/X3dToX3domX_ITE.xslt

The X3dToX3domX_ITE.xslt stylesheet produces the following header in these
examples:

   - X3D Example Archives: X3D4WA, X3D for Web Authors, Chapter 01
   Technical Overview, Hello World

Questions please, before I start a major rebuild:

   1. *x3dom.js or x3dom-full.js ? (both look to be available)*
   2. *Same treatment for x3dom.css or is it no longer used?*
   3. *What is up-to-date guidance whenText node is included?*  I have

   - "X3DOM Text Example
   The following scenes demonstrate the use of the text and fontsyle nodes.
   You can also use web fonts, however on windows there is a glitch. You have
   to use and display the font in your document before you can use them in
   X3DOM."

and

*4. Is the following still the best up-to-date list of supported nodes?*

P.S. node wish list: IndexedTriangleFanSet, Script

Thanks in advance for all improvements to these invocations, and thanks as
ever for ongoing progress with X3DOM!

all the best, Don
