  MFString  [in,out] url          []    [URI]
  SFBool    []       directOutput FALSE  SFBool    [] 
mustEvaluate FALSE
  # And any number of:  fieldType [in]     fieldName
  fieldType [in,out] fieldName    initialValue  fieldType [out] 
fieldName
  fieldType []       fieldName    initialValue}
Just skip the VRML and use X3D. Where it says:[in,out] use inputOUtput 
[in] use inputOnly [out] use outputOnly[] use initializeOnlyGood Luck,
