[X3D-Public] X3D MultiTexturing - how about we start fixing thespec? :)

[Joe D Williams]

Hi Michalis,
The only way you get to talk to the specmaster around here is to 
submit your findings as bugs against the spec as entered using the 
Web3D.org Spec comment form.
That is the only way to work with spec bugs in the ISO process.

The step that would finally need to be done is to identify each 
paragraph and sentence by title and number then rewrite the text:

Is: ...
Should be: ...

and offer the replacement or new text directly. Really the goal is 
just a precise set of instructions for the editor so once the comment 
is approved, the editor won't have to think about it, just make the 
correct keystrokes and we can check against the final input.

Good Work on MultiTexture, it is needed for HAnim. Have you verified 
your thoughts by looking at what WebGL does?

Best Regards,
Joe
