[source] Xj3D node inventory - geospatial extensions

[Don Brutzman]

[shifting geospatial discussion to geospatial list]

Thanks for this assessment of Xj3D geospatial extensions Justin.  Good to know that some draft capabilities are in there.

If you can remember any libraries or references that you might have used in this work, that will be welcome.

Javadoc for the code is available online to facilitate review of these nodes.
