[x3d-public] Query On X_ITE

[Don Brutzman]

X3D-Edit has a large number of diagnostics to ensure that ProtoDeclare,
ExternProtoDeclare, ProtoInstance, IS/connect, Script, field and ROUTE
connections are implemented properly.  Most of the tests appear similarly
in X3D Schematron as well.

Whatever encoding you might use to author original models is fine by me.
Convert to XML if necessary, or periodically, then all those tests are
available.  Very helpful.

   - X3D-Edit 4.0 Authoring Tool for Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics
   - X3D-Edit is a free, open-source Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics authoring
   tool for simple high-quality authoring, editing, import/export, validation
   and viewing of X3D scenes.

Have fun with X3D extensibility!  😀

all the best, Don
